Julia Roberts (born Julie Fiona Roberts on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia) is an American actress. As of 2005, Roberts is reportedly the highest-paid female actor in Hollywood.
Roberts' personal life has often been in the spotlight, a fact that served as the basis of her (1999) film Notting Hill, a romantic comedy about a famous actress falling for an ordinary guy played by Hugh Grant. Her character, Anna Scott, was said to be closely modeled on Roberts herself. (When asked in one scene how much she was paid to appear in a movie, Scott replies "fifteen million dollars"—precisely the amount Roberts had received to appear in the movie.)
Roberts was engaged to actor Kiefer Sutherland in 1991 but ended the relationship just days before the wedding. She later eloped with country and western singer Lyle Lovett shortly after meeting him; they divorced in 1995.
Roberts met her husband, cameraman Danny Moder, on the set of her movie The Mexican in 2000. The couple were married July 4, 2002, in Taos, New Mexico. They became the parents of twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter on November 28, 2004.
For years, Roberts has been estranged from her brother, actor Eric Roberts. |
