Previous life
Julia Roberts first saw the daylight on October 28, 1967. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to the daughter of an Irish family; but in Smyrna, a small town in Georgia, she grew up with her mother Betty-Lou and her father Walter. Her mother is an actress and church secretary; his father was a vacuum cleaner seller, writer and actor. Julia is the youngest of the three brothers; his older brother is Eric Roberts and his older sister Lisa Roberts.
Julia had a tragic childhood. When she was only four years old, her mother and father left because of financial difficulties. While his father Walter decided to move back to Atlanta with his sixteen-year-old son Eric, Betty-Lou stayed with his two daughters in Smyrna. When Julia was ten years old, in March 1978, her father died of cancer. At school, the kids mocked her for her thick glasses and big mouth. She accepted her big mouth and decided to make her mouth a brand. Using contact lenses, he exposed hazel eyes, which he hid with his thick glasses. Julia never tried to hide that she was tall. His height made him more perfect.
First years and first Oscar nomination (1986-1989)

After graduating from Campbell High School, she joined her older sister and older brother to attend a theater school in New York. Prior to acting, he worked on Baskin-Robbins and Athlete's Foot. Then she signed a contract with the dummy company "Click" and stayed with them until she released her carving-ready older brother Eric as Julia's first movie role in "Blood Red." The movie didn't go well; but in Hollywood people started talking about it. In 1988, he played a pizza waiter at Mystic Pizza, and then he played with Liam Neeson at Satisfaction. Things got hotter behind the camera between Julia and Liam. A year later, at the Steel Magnolias, his then-fiancé, Dylan McDermott, played opposite. Just before “Steel Magnolias”, Julia got sick and was getting better when filming started. This did not stop director Herbert Ross from saying bad things about his acting, mostly in front of people; But when Julia became an Oscar candidate, Ross stopped.
Pretty Woman and Sutherland (1990-1992)
A year later, he suddenly became a big star when the whole Earth became “Pretty Woman”. Suddenly, everyone wanted him. The newspapers wrote about him every day, and the whole world spoke about him. This interest was difficult for him. Weakened; Rumors spread that he used drugs and had anorexia.
When Kiefer met Sutherland, he had escaped this situation, and Sutherland was his co-star in Flatliners. He left his wife and moved to Julia. This scandal was real, and the relationship of the year began. In August 1990, Julia and Kiefer announced that they were engaged, and in October, Kiefer gave a Chinese "eternal love" tattoo on Julia's left shoulder. The dream ended when Julia saw Kiefer having sex with stripper Amanda Rice. The wedding was canceled and Julia went to Ireland to look for comfort. Meanwhile, "Sleeping with the Enemy" has opened with great success in the USA.
In 1991, Julia decided to take a break.For two long years, with her small role in the movie "The Player" (1992), she completely avoided the big screen, and everyone was asking: "Where did Pretty Woman go?".
