Julia Roberts Biography
Birth name - Julie Fiona Roberts
Date of birth - October 28, 1967
Smyrna, Georgia, USA
Nickname - Jules
Sometimes Credited As: Julia Moder
Height - 5' 9" (1.75 m)
Julie Fiona Roberts, born in Smyrna, Georgia, never dreamed she would become the most popular actress in America. As a child, due to her love of animals, Julia originally wanted to be a veterinarian, but later studied journalism. When her brother, Eric Roberts, achieved some success in Hollywood, Julia decided to try acting. Her first break came in 1988 when she appeared in two youth-oriented movies Mystic Pizza (1988) and Satisfaction (1988). The movies introduced her to a new audience who instantly fell in love with this pretty woman. Julia's biggest success was in the signature movie Pretty Woman (1990), for which Julia got an Oscar nomination, and also won the People's Choice award for Favorite Actress. Even though Julia would spend the next few years either starring in serious movies, or playing fantasy roles like Tinkerbell, the movie audiences would always love Julia best in romantic comedies. With My Best Friend's Wedding (1997) Julia gave the genre fresh life that had been lacking in Hollywood for some time. Offscreen, after a brief marriage, Julia has been romantically linked with several other actors. Julia has also become involved with UNICEF charities and has made visits to many different countries, including Haiti and India, in order to promote goodwill. Julia is one of the most popular and sought-after talents in Hollywood.

Personal quotes from Julia Roberts
"I enjoy hats. And when one has filthy hair, that is a good accessory."
"I'm too tall to be a girl, I never had enough dresses to be a lady, I wouldn't call myself a woman. I'd say I'm somewhere between a chick and a broad."
"My real hair color is kind of a dark blonde. Now I just have mood hair."
(From 1998 interview) "I've sort of grown into my cuteness."
"We all need to take a deep breath and think about being a Bush daughter and having that cross to bear. I'd go out and have a couple of drinks, too." - about President George W. Bush's daughters being caught with alcohol as minors
"It doesn't bring out the Einstein moment that you hoped it would."-- Julia Roberts, on forgetting to include the real-life Erin Brockovich in her Academy Award acceptance speech.
You know I'm like a total geek, right? First of all, I sit on the set and knit. It's a very social hobby, as opposed to reading at work - I can chat with people and still be fully engaged.
"He's embarrassing, he's not my president. He will never be my president" - talking about President George W. Bush
"I'm just an ordinary person who has an extraordinary job."
"I get dressed up like a doll, a nice man puts lipstick on my lips and I say words - it's deeply satisfying" - on the essence of her job
On why she will never do a nude scene: "I just don't feel that my algebra teacher should ever know what my butt looks like."
"You can be true to the character all you want, but you've go to go home with yourself."
"The first time I felt I was famous was when I went to the movies with my mom. I had gone to the loo, and someone in the bathroom said in a very loud voice, 'Girl in stall No. 1 were you in "Mystic Pizza"? I paused and I said, yeah that was me." - (People Magazine 8/22/99)
I think it's dangerous to talk in the big generalities of sexism and ageism and face lift-isms. You really have to speak only from your own experience. And my experience so far has been ridiculously nice. Yeah, do the boys get paid more? Yes. But do we all get paid too much? Yes. I'm confused at what I'm supposed to complain about.
"I wouldn't do nudity in films. To act with my clothes on is a performance. To act with my clothes off is a documentary."
