Julia Roberts
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Julia Roberts (October 28, 1967- ) is an American actress. She is best remembered for her roles in the movies Steel Magnolias (1989), Pretty Woman (1990), Runaway Bride (1998) and Erin Brockovich (2000). Roberts regularly plays characters of attractive powerful women. She has been among People Magazine's 50 Most Beautiful People in the world eight times. She recently gave birth to twins.
Her real name is Julie. She had to use Julia because an actress with the same name was already registered. Roberts originally wanted to be a veterinarian (an animal doctor), but later studied journalism. When her brother, Eric Roberts, achieved success in Hollywood, Julia decided to try acting. Her first breakthrough came when she played in two youth-oriented movies called Mystic Pizza and Satisfaction, both filmed in 1988.
