The Lovely Julia Roberts - Peter Adams
Love
Actress Julia Roberts
Julia Roberts made her debut on the television series Crime Story (1986-88). She starred in Steel Magnolias in 1989, earning an Academy Award nomination for her performance in the film. One of her most iconic roles was in Pretty Woman (1990) with actor Richard Gere. Roberts went on to win an Oscar for her lead role in Erin Brockovich (2010). She is known for being one of the highest-paid actors and biggest box office earners in Hollywood.
Actress Julia Fiona Roberts was born in Smyrna, Georgia, the youngest of three children and surrounded by creative individuals. Her parents were both actors who ran a workshop for aspiring writers and performers until their divorce in 1971. Initially Roberts wanted to become a veterinarian, but she abandoned this dream when she realized that she had an inability to deal with science on a brainiac kind of level.
After graduating from high school in 1985, Roberts moved to New York City to live with her sister, Lisa, who, along with Roberts's brother, Eric, was pursuing an acting career.
Come in Public Attraction
In New York, Roberts also joined the family business, landing a guest appearance on the television series Crime Story (1986-88). She really caught the public's eye, however, as the wild but vulnerable Daisy in Mystic Pizza (1988). The following year, Roberts cemented her status as a rising star in Steel Magnolias (1989), appearing alongside such acting legends as Shirley MacLaine and Sally Field, and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. She was also in the spotlight for her relationships with actors Liam Neeson and Dylan McDermott.
After that, Roberts's career really took off. She played a hooker who falls in love with a client (Richard Gere) in the box-office hit Pretty Woman (1990). For her convincing performance, Roberts received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She followed up that role with a few career missteps: Dying Young (1991) received mixed reviews, as did Hook (1991), which revisited the story of Peter Pan. Both films also proved to be disappointments at the box office. Around this same time, Roberts called off her wedding to actor Kiefer Sutherland, her co-star in 1990's Flatliners, just days before the ceremony was scheduled to take place.
Breakthrough
After taking a break from film, Roberts landed another big hit with the thriller The Pelican Brief (1993) with Denzel
