JULIA ROBERTS

Julia Roberts was born Julie Fiona Roberts on October 28, 1967. She is an Academy Award-winning American actress and former fashion model, who shot to fame during the early 1990s after starring in the romantic comedy, Pretty Woman, opposite Richard Gere. Since then, Roberts has gone on to become the highest-paid actress in the world, topping the recent Hollywood Reporter's annual power list of top-earning female stars for the second year in a row, and she deserves it.Julia Roberts wins an Oscar



This proved that even though she had taken a year off for personal reasons and had not been seen on screen since 2004's Ocean's Twelve, Roberts still had the appeal to remain the reigning Queen of Hollywood. Her impressive film career has also given her the title of most bankable actress in Hollywood, with box office receipts well over $2 billion on the strength of numerous blockbusters such as Pretty Woman, Runaway Bride, and Ocean's Eleven. She won the Best Actress Academy Award in 2001 for her critically praised turn as the title character in Erin Brockovich after two previous nominations during the 1990s. For her fame and wholesome image, she is often referred to as "America's Sweetheart." She is certainly one of my most favorite stars and almost never fails to produce a superb performance and a truly memorable film. Erin Brockvich is probably my favorite, with Pretty Woman following close behind
