Julia Roberts, born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia, is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actresses, known for her radiant smile, natural charm, and versatile acting talent. Rising to international fame with her iconic role in Pretty Woman (1990), Roberts became a defining face of the romantic comedy genre in the 1990s and early 2000s. Her career spans diverse genres and challenging roles, earning her multiple awards and a lasting legacy as one of the highest-grossing actresses of all time.
Roberts grew up in a family involved in the arts—her parents, Betty Lou Bredemus and Walter Grady Roberts ran an acting and writing workshop for children, which allowed Roberts to develop an interest in acting from a young age. Initially aspiring to be a veterinarian, she eventually moved to New York City to pursue acting, landing her first notable role in Mystic Pizza (1988) at age 21. This role, where she played a young, passionate waitress, demonstrated her talent and screen presence, opening the door for her breakthrough performance in Steel Magnolias (1989). For her role as Shelby Eatenton, a young woman battling health issues, Roberts earned her first Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, an early indicator of her versatility.
The following year, Roberts starred opposite Richard Gere in Pretty Woman, the role that catapulted her to superstardom. As Vivian Ward, a spirited young woman who falls in love with a wealthy businessman, Roberts showcased her charisma and ability to balance humor with vulnerability. The film was a massive commercial success and made her a household name, solidifying her as one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars. She became synonymous with the “America’s Sweetheart” persona, captivating audiences with her warmth, wit, and captivating smile.
