Julia Roberts

Biography

A winsome beauty with a large, incandescent smile and a mane of auburn hair, Julia Roberts was one of the few bankable female stars of the early 1990s. Naked pictures of Julia are at this free site. Critics have speculated on the secret of her huge appeal, but it remains one of the enigmas of contemporary pop culture. Roberts lacks the technical polish of some of her contemporaries, but has been able to command the screen even while surrounded by heavy-hitters like Sally Field, Dolly Parton and Shirley MacLaine.

Roberts made her screen debut opposite her brother Eric in "Blood Red", although the 1986-produced film went unreleased for three years. She first gained notice playing a fiery Portuguese waitress in "Mystic Pizza" (1988) and won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar nomination as the doomed diabetic heroine of Herbert Ross' "Steel Magnolias" (1989). But with her performance as a warm-hearted prostitute who transforms cold executive Richard Gere in the saccharine but immensely successful rags-to-riches saga, "Pretty Woman" (1990), Roberts became one of Hollywood's most popular and bankable stars, earning a surprise Best Actress Academy Award nomination. Her contribution made the routine thrillers "Flatliners" (1990) and "Sleeping with the Enemy" (1991) popular successes. Later in 1991, Roberts faltered a bit at the box office with the weepie romance "Dying Young", but her star power garnered an opening weekend take of over $9 million. She finished the year with the supporting role of Tinkerbell in Steven Spielberg's lavish update of the Peter Pan myth, "Hook". Roberts' toothsome portrayal of the feisty fairy revealed no insights into the tiny winged character, and she struggled gamely with the physical and artistic rigors of doing most of her scenes alone on a special effects soundstage.

Roberts took two years off from films (except for a cameo appearance in Robert Altman's "The Player" 1992) before reasserting her commercial magic opposite Denzel Washington in the political thriller "The Pelican Brief" (1993). She faltered with audiences opposite Nick Nolte in the middling romantic comedy "I Love Trouble" (1994) and several of her subsequent films met with mixed receptions; Robert Altman's high-fashion comedy "Ready to Wear/Pret-a-Porter" (1994), the romantic comedy "Something to Talk About" (1995), with Dennis Quaid, and the period horror film "Mary Reilly" (1996) all failed to find audience favor. As Woody Allen's leading lady in his musical comedy "Everyone Says I Love You" (1996), she fared slightly better and Roberts gave a gallant try (despite a faltering Irish accent) as Liam Neeson's love interest in the historical drama "Michael Collins" (also 1996).

The actress reasserted her position as a box-office performer starring in the comedy "My Best Friend's Wedding" (1997). While her role as a scheming restaurant critic who sets out to break up the wedding of the man she thinks she loves could have become unsympathetic, Roberts' natural charm and vibrancy drew in the audience. She was also abetted by Rupert Everett's scene-stealing supporting turn and Ron Bass's screenplay which inverted many of the cliches of screwball comedy. Her much-anticipated teaming with Mel Gibson in "Conspiracy Theory" (also 1997), however, proved to be somewhat disappointing thanks to a muddled script.
