Julia Fiona Roberts was born in Atlanta on October 28, 1967. In 1956, she had a little brother and in 1965, she had a little sister. Her parents loved the theater and she, her brother, and her sister started going to the school for young actors in Atlanta. In 1972, her parents got a divorce and she and her sister lived with their mother in Smyrna, Georgia. Her brother lived with his father in Atlanta. Julia and her sister couldn't often see their brother and father but their father loved them and wrote many letters, but suddenly their father died in 1977.
From 1982 to 1985, Julia went to Campbell High School and she enjoyed her school life. After graduating from the high school, she moved to New York. Her brother and sister lived there. Her brother was an actor. She had a good time in New York and in 1986, her brother had a role in a new movie, Blood Red, and Julia got a small role in this movie.
In 1987, Julia got work in two movies and in Satisfaction, one of these movies, she was good. She met her first important boyfriend, Liam Neeson, in Satisfaction. They fell in love and moved to California. Then she got the big role of Daisy in Mystic Pizza. Many people like this movie and her name was known by many people and Hollywood directors.
In 1988, she acted Shelby, a sick young woman, in Steel Magnolias. She won an award for this role. Also, her new romance started with Dylan McDermott, an actor.
In 1989, she acted Vivian in Pretty Woman. This movie is love story between Vivian and one businessman, who is acted by Richard Gere. This movie was very famous and many people like the movie and Julia Roberts. After this movie, she became a superstar.
She continued to act in many movies but the year 1991 was difficult for her. She made Sleeping with the Enemy, Dying Young, and Hook. Sleeping with the Enemy was a big hit but Dying Young and Hook wasn't hit. She did her best, but Steven Spielberg, director of Hook, said 'I can't work Julia Roberts again.' She was shocked and couldn't understand this and she stopped work for about two years.
In 1993, she came back with smile. She acted the role of Darby Shaw in The Pelican Brief, which was a big hit. She experienced many things, which were good and not good for her, and she grew a big actress. She was sometimes unhappy but on 25th in March, she got her first Oscar with her superstar smile.
I know Julia Roberts because she is very famous actress. I think she is very beautiful but she experienced many things. She tried to act many various roles and sometimes it was good but sometimes wasn't. I think if we have good talent, we always can't do well. We should strive!!
