Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts is a Hollywood movie star who, after starring brilliantly in Pretty Woman, has become a true icon of the romantic comedy genre. During her acting career, she has repeatedly become a laureate of prestigious film awards - Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and others.

The artist received the title of the most beautiful woman in the world in the rating of People magazine 5 times. Her smile was compared to that of Mona Lisa, and a shock of brown hair became the object of imitation of fashionistas around the world.

Julia Roberts was born on October 28, 1967 in a hospital in the American town of Smyrna, located in northwestern Georgia. Julia's mother, Betty Lou Bredemas, was an actress and, together with her husband Walter Grady Roberts, taught acting classes for children in her hometown. In addition to Julia, two more children were raised in the family: Eric and Lisa. All the children of the family in the future will follow in the footsteps of their mother and become actors in Hollywood.

After the birth of Julia, Betty was forced to leave her job, which negatively affected the well-being of the family. The situation was rescued by Coretta Scott King, the widow of famous black rights activist Martin Luther King, whose children attended the Roberts' drama school. It was Coretta who first paid the hospital bills of the young mother.

When the girl was 5 years old, her parents divorced. Julia and Lisa stayed in Smyrna with their mother, while Eric and his father moved to Atlanta. Soon Betty Lou Bredemas tied her fate with critic Michael Moats. Michael turned out to be a cruel man, he drank and did not hesitate to assault his stepdaughters. Because of her stepfather, young Roberts constantly quarreled with her mother.

The future star grew up as a dreamy child. As a child, Julia believed that she knew how to communicate with animals, and this belief inspired her. The girl dreamed of becoming a veterinarian. At school, Roberts tried to be different from everyone, she wanted to feel special, although at first the girl did not stand out for her special talents. She played the clarinet, participated in local theater productions, inspired by the successful theatrical career of her brother Eric Roberts.

When Julia was 10 years old, her own father died of cancer. The girl did not know that Walter was sick, although she spoke to him on the phone every day. Many years later, the actress admitted that even after the death of her father, she continued to communicate with him in her dreams.

At 13, Roberts went to her first job at a pizzeria. Until graduation, she worked part-time in a shoe store, then in snack bars and cafes. After graduating from school, the girl tried to enter the University of Georgia, but failed the entrance exams. Then Julia moved to New York to live with her sister Lisa and enrolled in acting classes.

The actress got into the first film project thanks to her brother Eric. In 1987 he starred in the melodrama Red as Blood. Eric offered his sister a cameo role as a farmer's daughter, which required virtually no acting skills. At the same time, Julia took part in the filming of the film "Satisfaction", where she played a rock singer. For this role, the actress learned to play musical instruments.

In the same year, young Roberts got her first big role: she played a cafe waitress in the romantic comedy Mystic Pizza.

The next film of the rising Hollywood star, which brought her closer to world recognition, was the film "Steel Magnolias". The story tells about the lives of 6 women, in particular Shelby Lutchery, played by Julia. For this role, the actress won a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor and was nominated for an Oscar.

In 1989, Julia Roberts took part in the filming of the film Pretty Woman, directed by Harry Marshall. The producers were looking for the famous Hollywood star to pair with the main character of the picture, played by young Richard Gere, but Marshall insisted on Roberts' candidacy. She was not immediately invited to the project, at first Karen Allen, Meg Ryan and other Hollywood actresses refused the role of Vivien Ward. Many of them considered it beneath their dignity to play the role of a "girl of easy virtue".

On the set of the film, the plot had to be rewritten: Roberts' popularity grew so rapidly that the director did not dare to make the film's dark finale. After the release of Pretty Woman, the actress received Hollywood star status, and also won a second Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

The star status of the actress opened her doors to other serious film projects, she was offered the best roles, and her fee of $ 300 thousand (so much Julia earned for the role of Vivien Ward) turned into millions.

In 1990, 4 films were released with the participation of a star artist: Joseph Ruben's melodrama thriller In Bed with the Enemy, Joel Schumacher's melodrama Die Young, Alan Pakul's crime thriller The Pelican Affair and Steven Spielberg's fantasy tale Captain Hook". And although the films were financially successful and were favorably received by the audience, none of them was able to achieve the popularity of "Pretty Woman".

In 1996, Stephen Frears' film "Merry Reilly" was released in theaters, where Julia Roberts played the main role. The film's box office did not even cover the costs of its creation, and Roberts was nominated for the "Golden Raspberry" for "Worst Actress" for the first time in her career.

A year later, the celebrity decided to quit with "dark" projects. She played the role of a food critic in the romantic comedy Best Friend's Wedding. The film was well received by the public and critics alike.

Soon, the family drama "Stepmother" and the crime detective "Conspiracy Theory" were released with the participation of Julia. But the audience wanted to see the beloved duet from Pretty Woman again, so the script for the romantic comedy Runaway Bride was written, where the leading roles went to the stars Richard Gere and Julia Roberts. The film was directed by Harry Marshall again.

The next significant film in her career was the biopic Erin Brockovich directed by Stephen Soderbergh. Julia played the role of the main character Erin Brockovich, a human rights defender who fought against environmental pollution. The picture becomes a hit and brings the Hollywood star her first Oscar.

The creative biography of the artist is developing successfully, Julia does not stop playing in big movies, she is invited to many famous projects. In 2012, Julia Roberts took part in the filming of the comedy "August: Osage County", where she played along with the famous Meryl Streep. Film critics were delighted with Roberts' acting, and the actress herself was again nominated for the popular American Film Awards.

Julia Roberts is one of the highest paid actresses in Hollywood today. Her royalties for the project reach $ 25 million. In 2010, the film Eat Pray Love, directed by Ryan Murphy, was released. The film tells the story of a married woman named Elizabeth, who went to travel the world. She managed to know and find herself in India and Indonesia. After the release of the film, the actress admitted that she was a Hindu by religion.

A year later, the movie "Larry Crown" was released, in which Roberts starred with Tom Hanks. The film was received controversially by critics, as was the work of the actress in "Financial Monster", where Roberts played in tandem with George Clooney. However, unlike the film itself, Julia's performance was highly appreciated.

In 2017, Julia Roberts was again nominated for the Anti-Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her role in another film - the comedy Horrible Ladies. In the same year, the premiere of the family drama "Miracle" about a boy suffering from a rare disease took place. Julia Roberts appeared on the screen as the mother of a teenager.

In 2018, the actress once again appeared in commercials. She starred in the video for the French brand Lancôme, dedicated to the new fragrance La Vie Est Belle. This is not the first experience of a Hollywood star in working with the global giant of the cosmetic industry. In 2011, she already appeared in the advertising campaign of the L'Oreal concern, but then the broadcast of the video in the UK caused a scandal. At the request of public activists, the videos were banned due to the explicit use of Photoshop.

For several years, Roberts has also collaborated with the Calzedonia women's tights brand. Becoming the face of Givenchy, Julia managed to earn $ 1 million. And for the silent role in the video of the coffee brand Lavazza, the artist received $ 1.6 million at all. The star in the frame only needed to smile.

Julia Roberts became a famous personality in Hollywood not only thanks to movies, but also to stellar romances. In her youth, she dated actors Matthew Perry and Liam Neeson.

On the set of Steel Magnolia, Roberts began an affair with a partner on the set, actor Dylan McDermott. There were rumors that the couple had even got engaged and would soon have a wedding. But the marriage did not happen, and the actress herself was increasingly noticed in the company of Richard Gere, which gave rise to new gossip about the movie star's personal life.

During the filming of the film "Flatulent" Julia met the Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland. The lovers gave interviews to the press, talking about love at first sight. Julia and Kiefer set a wedding date, but 3 days before the event, a compromising photo of Sutherland with an unknown girl appeared in the newspapers. After this, a wedding was out of the question.

In 1993, Julia Roberts legalized her relationship with country singer Lyle Lovett. The newlyweds had known each other only 3 weeks before the wedding, and spent their entire family life on the road. After 2 years, the couple decided to end the relationship.

For 2 years, the Hollywood star met with the actor of the series "Law & Order" Benjamin Brett. By that time, the actress tried to keep the press away from her personal life, and little is known about the details of their romance. Brett wanted a full-fledged family and children, and Roberts devoted herself entirely to a career as an actress.

While filming The Mexican, Julia met her future husband, cameraman Daniel Moder. At the time of the beginning of the novel, Moder was married. In 2002, Danny divorced his wife Vera Steiner-Moder. There were rumors in the press that the famous Julia Roberts was forced to pay the ex-wife of Moder "compensation" in order to expedite the divorce. In the summer of the same year, the lovers played a magnificent wedding.

After 2 years, twins were born in the family - a boy Finneas Walter (in honor of Julia's father) and a girl Hazel Patricia. Julia started raising children on her ranch in Taos, New Mexico. In 2007, the couple had another child, Henry Daniel.

Julia Roberts is a trendsetter in terms of hairstyles. She burst onto large screens with a shock of red hair, and then many times changed their length, color, shape, appearing on the screen with and without bangs, with a "bob" and "cascade", with a high bun or "shell". Having enjoyed the experiments in her youth, recently the actress increasingly prefers the classics.

Roberts is a loving mother of three and a caring aunt. Julia played a big role in the fate of her niece, daughter of Eric's brother, Emma Roberts, who also became an actress. After the scandalous divorce of her parents, Emma was left homeless with her mother, and it was her aunt who helped the woman with the child. In the future, she always took care of her niece and even discouraged her from marrying actor Evan Peters, citing the fact that one should not take such a serious step in her life at such a young age. It is known that the couple eventually got engaged, but at the beginning of 2016 they finally broke up.

The scandalous story connected with the death of her half-sister Nancy Moats does not fit with the personality of Roberts. She spoke negatively about Roberts, who allegedly bullied and made fun of her sister.

According to the official version, 37-year-old Nancy Moats died of a drug overdose, although the American tabloids do not exclude that it was suicide. In the suicide note, three whole pages were devoted to her half-sister, where Nancy accused Julia of not wanting to communicate with her, of not seeing her sick mother. Roberts did not comment on her sister's attacks after her death, canceled participation in all recreational activities and, according to eyewitnesses, burst into tears at the funeral.

Now the actress lives with her husband and children in a penthouse in Manhattan. Julia Roberts is the owner of a film company and does charity work.

In 2018, the filmography of the actress expanded by 2 more projects. At the Toronto International Film Festival, the drama "Bring Ben Back" was shown, where the actress starred as the mother of a young man who escaped from a rehabilitation center to his parents. Ben (Lucas Hedges) is later revealed to be in danger.

The drama series Coming Home started in November. Julia has embodied on the screen the image of a social psychologist who helps soldiers return to their usual civilian life. Once the heroine Roberts realizes that she herself received a mental disorder.

The year was a turning point for Julia. The actress has officially announced that she will no longer appear in her favorite genre of romantic comedy. She was seriously interested in working on television in major dramatic projects.

The actress still amazes fans with her youthfulness and ideal figure. With a height of 175 cm, its weight does not exceed 61 kg. The celebrity makes no effort to maintain a low weight, but after filming in the last series, Julia has noticeably lost weight. According to the artist, this happened naturally due to the heavy workload on the set.

In the fall of 2018, Roberts surprised her Instagram subscribers with her new image. The Hollywood star dyed the ends of her hair pink and braided her hair. Julia posted a photo and a thematic video on her personal microblog.
