From small town to big screens

"In my youth, I wanted to be a vet, but it seems fate had other plans. Happiness is when you fall in love with what you do"

Julia Roberts was born on October 28, 1967, in Smyrna, Georgia, into an artistic family. Her parents ran a theater school and even collaborated with Martin Luther King Jr., shaping her values and worldview.

Initially dreaming of caring for animals, Julia unexpectedly fell in love with cinema. Inspired by her older brother, actor Eric Roberts, she decided to follow in his footsteps. But she had her path and clear goals from the start. Her debut in “Mystic Pizza” (1988) proved she wasn’t just "the famous sibling", she was a powerful talent in her own right. Audiences noticed her charm, while critics saw her acting potential.

A breakthrough with “Pretty Woman”

True fame came with “Pretty Woman” (1990). The story of love between a wealthy businessman and a street-smart woman became iconic, with her character Vivian symbolizing a dream of transformation. This role brought Julia global acclaim and her first Oscar nomination.

"Vivian isn’t just a Cinderella story. It’s about loving and valuing yourself, no matter who you are or where you come from"

The scene where Vivian descends the stairs in a red dress became one of cinema’s most unforgettable moments. In that instant, Julia became a style and romance icon, and her smile captured the hearts of audiences worldwide.

Drama, comedy, and an Oscar

Though Julia gained fame through romantic roles, she has always aimed to showcase her versatility. In “Erin Brockovich” (2000), she played a lone activist fighting a major corporation, a role that earned her a well-deserved Oscar.

"Erin is a woman who doesn’t give up. I love playing characters like her—those who believe in truth and justice despite the odds"

Roberts’ career seamlessly blends drama with lighthearted comedies like “Notting Hill” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding”. Each film she stars in is imbued with something special, making her performances unforgettable.

"Comedy is the art of lightness. To play it well, you need to not only find the rhythm but also love what you do"

Harmony in personal life

Julia Roberts has always kept her personal life private. Since 2002, she has been happily married to cinematographer Daniel Moder, with whom she has three children. Despite the spotlight, she finds joy in simple things:

"Family is my home, my safe harbor. Everything I do, I do for them"

She acknowledges that family life and time away from the cameras help her maintain inner balance.

Secrets of beauty and youth

Julia Roberts is one of those women whose beauty only deepens with age. She embraces naturalness in everything: minimal makeup, simple skincare rituals, and a healthy lifestyle.

"My top beauty tip? A smile. It’s the most powerful accessory available to us all"

She also believes that the secret to youth lies in inner balance:

"It’s not only about how you look but also about how you feel inside"
