| Her films have grossed 2.09 billion at the Box Office, which makes her the biggest female movie star in. She is the first actress to be a part of the most dreamt about, $20 Million Club. Her role in Erin Brockovich earned her a whooping $25 million. Her net assets are estimated to be worth over $250 million.
Julie Fiona Roberts was born to Walter Grady Roberts and Betty Lou Bredemus. Both Walter and Betty were actors, and even gave acting classes to the children of Martin Luther Jr. and Coretta Scott King. Walter and Betty divorced when Julia was just four years old. Julia Roberts’ brother, Eric Roberts and niece, Emma Roberts are also actors. Julia’s first screen appearance was opposite her brother Eric in ‘Blood Red’. She caught the eye of movie goers in ‘Mystic Pizza’ in 1988. In 1989, Julia won her first Oscar for the Best Supporting Actress for her role in ‘Steel Magnolias’. Her role opposite Richard Gere in ‘Pretty Woman’ in 1990 added another feather to Julia’s cap by garnering her second Oscar, this time for Best Actress. Julia’s subsequent films didn’t do very well at the box office. She returned with a bang in ‘My Bets Friend’s Wedding’ in 1997. She won her second Best Actress Oscar in 2001 for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich.
Following several turbulent relationships with Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Patric, Lyle Lovett, Matthew Perry, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson and Benjamin Bratt, Roberts finally married cameraman Danny Moder with whom she has twins. |
