Julia Roberts has been a true Hollywood star since the beginning of her career. Born in a small town in Georgia, she first came into contact with acting through a short course taught by her parents. After high school, Roberts moved to New York, where she signed a contract with a modeling agency and got her first role in the movie “Blood Red” (1986). Her real success came after “Steel Magnolias” (1989), where she played Shelby Eaton and received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress. In the 90s, Julia consolidated her superstar status with the films “Pretty Woman,” “Best Friend’s Wedding,” and “My Stepmother.”
Roberts’ personal life has also been under intense public scrutiny. Her brief marriage to Lyle Lovett did not last two years, after which the actress focused on her career, creating her own production company Shoelace Productions and receiving recognition for her role in Erin Brockovich, for which she was awarded the Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Actress.
A fateful meeting with Danny Moder on the set of the movie “The Mexican” changed her life. Despite the fact that both were in a relationship, Julia and Danny began dating after breaking up with their partners and soon married in 2002. The actress has always stressed that she has no regrets — their union has become a real “seismic shift” in her life.
Having become the mother of three children — twins Hazel and Finneus in 2004 and son Henry in 2007 — Roberts successfully combines family and career. She still chooses interesting roles, but now she plans her work more carefully in order to spend as much time as possible with her children and her husband. Julia proved that it is possible to achieve success in Hollywood and at the same time maintain harmony in her personal life.
