The Julia Roberts Appreciation Thread

[AaronJ]

I didn't realize until now that there wasn't a thread for one of the most beautiful, talented, funny, succesful, and all-around terrific actresses to not only be in the business now, but to EVER have been in this industry.

How did this happen?

I was going to write something similar myself but in the end decided to just plagiarize Wikipedia. Sorry guys and gals over there.

"Julia Fiona Roberts (born October 28, 1967)[1] is an American actress and producer. She became a Hollywood star after headlining the romantic comedy Pretty Woman (1990), which grossed $464 million worldwide. She has won three Golden Globe Awards (out of eight nominations) and has been nominated for four Academy Awards for her film acting, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Erin Brockovich (2000).

Her films have collectively brought box office receipts of over US$2.8 billion, making her one of the most successful actresses in terms of box office receipts.[2] Her most successful films include Mystic Pizza (1988), Steel Magnolias (1989), Pretty Woman (1990), Sleeping with the Enemy (1991), The Pelican Brief (1993), My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), Notting Hill (1999), Runaway Bride (1999), Ocean's Eleven (2001), Ocean's Twelve (2004), Charlie Wilson's War (2007), Valentine's Day (2010), Eat Pray Love (2010), Money Monster (2016), and Wonder (2017).

That first post was getting a bit long, so I decided to keep these in a separate post. Julia winning the Oscar for Erin Brokovich. What a speech she gave, and what a dress she wore. She was clearly SO happy!
