April 2016 Los Angeles
A good company gathered in the restaurant - he invited all the people dear to him from the film crew of the "Financial Monster" to celebrate the imminent premiere. Everyone was joking, laughing, remembering last year's shooting in New York, George, as usual, conducted the fun, and Julia was falling asleep. She was not bored, on the contrary, she wanted to sit still, but the long-term habit of going to bed early made itself felt. In the end, the 48-year-old actress gave in, said a warm goodbye to everyone, kissed George on the top of his gray head, and headed for the door.
- Deserter! Cluny called after her.
The actress smiled. George followed her out of the restaurants in this way every time she accepted an invitation to dinner. He considered it his duty to disturb the homebody Julia, to pull her out into the world. Yes, and the offer to star together in the "Financial Monster" came from him. “George told me about the project and the way he told it was intriguing,” recalls Julia. —
I asked him to send the script. I get a lot of scripts, but this was one of those that read in one go. I was very inspired by the story itself, and by the fact that George got such a curious role. It was not even the hope of participating that turned me on, but the very idea that such a film would be made.
Director Jodie Foster, who had never worked with Roberts before, liked that in life George behaves like an older brother towards Julia and this is easily transferred to the screen. “We met on the set of Ocean's Eleven in 2000 and became fast friends,” says Clooney. Her husband Danny also became a good friend of mine. Julia visited my Italian estate on Lake Como during her pregnancy, came with her children, when little monsters turned into intelligent human beings. Communication with her wonderful family, which I partly consider my own, gives me a lot of joy. Therefore, it is easy and pleasant for us to work together.”

Julia readily admits that the feelings are mutual: “Everything that happened to us during these years only strengthened our friendship. New people - my husband and children, George's wife - organically poured into it, without breaking anything, but only adding.
None of them remembers that in the first years of their acquaintance, Julia was not in the best shape and desperately needed friendly participation. Then her future with Danny was in jeopardy, and she could only dream of children ...
August 2001 Big Bear Lake, California
Julia stepped out of the chapel onto the green lawn, raised her eyes to the velvety, already almost autumn sky. The actress did not leave the feeling that they were burying her, and not Patty, Danny's mother. Probably, this would have ended if the dagger looks of his relatives could kill.
Julia shouldn't have come. She wasn't part of the family, unlike Vera, Danny's wife. For the first time, wife and mistress met face to face: at such a time and in such a place where everyone was on the side of Vera, and only herself was on the side of Julia. Danny, determined to keep up appearances and avoid scandal, was afraid to even look her way.
But no instinct of self-preservation would have forced the actress to leave him, shocked sudden death mother without support. In addition, Patty was the only one in the Moder family who did not condemn Danny for having an affair with Julia. “Life is hard,” she said. “If there is a chance to experience happiness, you should not miss it.” And Julia was grateful to her for that.
Danny had a hard time too. Many relatives refused to talk to him, to accept words of consolation. Julia couldn't help him, but she didn't quit either. She stood silently at a distance, clasped her hands under her chest, looked at Danny's ashen face with grief and thought about how much she loved him. “I fell in love at first sight,” Julia recalls meeting on the set of The Mexican. - I realized that I was born to become the wife of this man. I fantasized about him in reality and saw him in erotic dreams.
I said to myself: “Girl, you are in trouble. You are crazy".
After filming, Julia could not get Danny out of her head, especially since he reciprocated her. They were not held back for long by the fact that he was married, and she was married to actor Benjamin Bratt without five minutes. "Danny couldn't fight his feelings for Julia," his friends said. He was ready to move mountains to stay with her. Once they slept for the first time, there was no going back.”
Julia parted amicably with Benjamin two months before the August day at the cemetery. Danny spoke to his wife, who showed no understanding. “Read about her personal life,” Vera advised. - She has every man - the only one real love, and there were twenty of them before you! Despite our crises, I lived with you for five years. And for her you are a toy. She wants you because she can't get you yet, and she'll lose her desire as soon as she gets it. All his relatives agreed with this theory.
Julia could have given an ultimatum - "me or them." But she foresaw another problem, which, combined with the shameful
expulsion from the family could make the price of happiness too high for Danny.
They managed to keep their relationship a secret for a long time. He courted Julia to the best of his financial ability, and the paparazzi were not in the habit of dropping into democratic cinemas and cafes, discos and that dusty corner of Brentwood where Danny rented a tiny love nest. But Julia understood how much dirt would fall on her boyfriend when the press found out about the connection of the superstar with the "small technical fry." “I was afraid of losing Danny,” she admitted. - I could not do anything with the press, but I decided that at any cost I would endure the drama that his family arranged. I knew that he would need the support of his relatives very soon.”
Before the funeral procession left the chapel, Danny's father approached the actress. It turned out that during her lifetime, Patty encouraged the clan to get to know Julia better before calling her a bitch who steals husbands from honest women. This idea did not cause delight in the senior Moder, but he was firm in his intention to fulfill the will of his wife.
Danny's family agreed to meet one by one. Julia came to houses where she was met with coldness and contempt, smiled at strange unfriendly people. She explained that at the time of their meeting, Danny considered his marriage to Vera over. She swore that she truly loved him, wanted to live with him all her life and give birth to children for him, which Vera was never able to do. Gave the most severe of the three sisters Danny a ring. Everything was boiling inside: why is she, an adult smart woman, an actress of world renown, forced to make excuses and apologize for her love for an adult capable man in front of people who have not deserved the right to judge her? But Julia continued to smile, give gifts and pay for family holidays, although for the time being it was regarded as atonement for sins and no one thanked her. She even went to the second round of apologies - this time for bringing a train of paparazzi into Moder's life.
But when Danny, shortly before the wedding, began to complain about interference in privacy and wounded male pride, Julia could not restrain herself: “I thought you were aware of who you were going to live with. At home I'm good old Jules, but in public I'm Miss
Julia Roberts, the one and only. It's a kit, Danny. You can't take one and refuse the other. You will have to come to terms with my fame and its costs.
It took him two years of noisy, often public quarrels, door slamming, cup smashing, and newspaper headlines like "Divorce Coming Soon." Only fatherhood reconciled Danny with the status of "Mr. Roberts." And then not to the end. On the other hand, Julia even liked the sparks of ambition that periodically flew from the calm, restrained and good-natured head of the family. If he allowed his wife to trample on his ego and turn himself into an accessory, he would no longer be the man she fell in love with...

After thirteen-plus years of marriage, Julia and Danny still had to maneuver to avoid accidentally touching the sore subject of inequality. Take, for example, the story of the purchase of an estate on the Hawaiian island of Kauai in 2011, when Julia set about to take the whole family as far away from Hollywood as possible, but without leaving the US borders.
After listening to Julia's idea, Danny Moder clutched his head. He knew that on the fertile land of Hawaii, his wife was already building goat pens and a chicken coop in her imagination, planting fruit trees and digging up the earth for a vegetable garden. Julia has long been obsessed with healthy organic food: she prefers to grow everything she can on her own. Their estate in Malibu is the only one in prestigious area a mansion where the morning begins with the frantic cries of a rooster, and the noble English lawn is dug up for beds. But this gardening kingdom was not enough for Julia. She missed the space she had at her disposal when the children were very young and the whole family lived on a ranch in New Mexico.
Danny sometimes felt like his wife was a born hippie who didn't want anything to do with the age of high technology and obsessive glamour. In all their houses you can not find a single thing made of plastic. Julia hates computers, the Internet and social networks, and the TV can only be turned on on special occasions. “We have a book house,” she says. “I think that in the evening, when the whole family gets together, it’s better to read a book to the children, tell a story, or just talk to them about life.”

Julia prefers to buy clothes in second-hand shops: another pleasure that she was deprived of by moving to the glossy Malibu. In New Mexico, the actress could spend the whole day in second-hand shops and flea markets, sometimes covering several towns closest to her ranch at one time. Merchants smiled through their tears when they saw her at the door or near the stalls: Julia attracted other buyers, but she herself bargained so desperately and with inspiration, as if one dollar gained should save her family from starvation. For $10, she managed to fill the car with things up to the roof. One day, at the end of such a tour, she could not resist the temptation to drop into another store in Santa Fe, leaving her wallet in the car to avoid extra spending. But she could not coolly walk away from the flowered dress - and right at the checkout she exchanged it for her designer jeans.
With the advent of children, Julia refused cosmetics. “If, having gathered three backbiters for the exit, I start to bring myself to a marketable appearance, we will never go anywhere,” she laughed. “A few unflattering photographs in magazines taught me to always have large dark glasses on hand.” She even brushes her teeth the old fashioned way, literally. Her grandfather used baking powder instead of toothpaste all his life and impressed his granddaughter by going to better world with a single filling.
Danny understood why his wife was so drawn to a simple life in the remote pampas: Julia does not need anything else from Hollywood, but she is infuriated by the close attention to her and her children. She has earned the right to live where and how she wants, because even in Hawaii she will remain the star of the first magnitude, which every producer and director dreams of. Danny couldn't say that about himself. Hollywood, with its long and evil memory, has not yet forgotten that on the set of The Mexican, Moder was just a "B camera assistant." Julia gave him a chance to show his talent as a director of photography on the projects of his production company, but the assumption that he could not take a step without the patronage of his wife did not make it easier for Moder to establish himself in this capacity. He knew that in Hawaii he would quickly lose his professional reputation and become a paid man. This did not suit him, and besides, it might inadvertently disappoint Julia.

Pride wouldn't let Danny make that argument, but he had others. First, he did not want the children to change good school in Los Angeles is unknown for what. Secondly, the mother of the actress, Betty Lou, who was recovering from a heart attack, was in the care of the Moders. Danny considered it inhumane to drag the sick old woman, whom he and Julia had barely persuaded to move from his native state of Georgia to Malibu, to some unknown distance.
The arguments were accepted. But Julia still bought the estate in Hawaii, assuring her husband that she was not going to chain him to a shovel. “We will wait until the trees that we plant grow on our farm,” she said. “And then we will live like hippies, go barefoot and surf 365 days a year. Think of it as our retirement plan."
Betty Lu passed away in February 2015 - by that time, Julia's children had grown up enough so that the transfer to another school would not become a tragedy for them. But instead of packing her bags, the actress quietly put the Hawaiian estate up for sale. She realized that Danny would not be happy away from the movies. And she began to suspect that he would not be the only one to miss the atmosphere of the set in a tropical paradise ...
May 2016. Cannes, France
The stars of the "Financial Monster" and who joined them moved along the red carpet to the famous stairs. Julia looked at the steep steps with horror - she had lost the habit of high heels and had no idea how to get to the door. George's strong hand could not be counted on - it was at the exclusive disposal of Amal.
The decision not to sacrifice legs for the protocol came suddenly. Julia kicked off her shoes, picked up the long train of her black dress, and stomped barefoot up the steps. “I’m not the most sane person in the family,” she admits. - If not for a calm and reasonable husband, I would have raised a gypsy camp from children. My spontaneity can take different forms. When the kids were smaller, I liked to jump on them from behind the furniture and watch them run screeching around the house.
Julia's act made the organizers of the festival recall last year's scandal, when women were not allowed to premiere because of flat shoes that violated the dress code. But no one dared to comment. At the top, she stopped regally - she was waiting for the festival assistant: he crept along the stairs along the railing with her shoes, trying not to get into the frame.
A little later, sitting in the hall next to George, Amal and Jodie Foster, Julia only regretted that none of her real family was there.

They were at odds with their older brother Eric for a long time. In the mid-1990s, when the actor, a longtime drug addict, sued his ex-girlfriend for the right to raise her daughter Emma, Julia testified in favor of the girl's mother and earned the brand of a traitor. The ax of the ten-year war was buried only in honor of the birth of her twins. But this did not mean that after reconciliation, they suddenly agreed in character. Each of their conversations ends with the loving brother and sister sending each other to various distant and unpleasant places if one of them does not have time to hang up.
Thus, brother Julia was not invited to avoid squabbles, and sister Lisa was not invited out of the delicacy of a more successful actress with the surname Roberts in relation to a much less successful one. The younger generation stayed with their father for pedagogical reasons. The actress believes that children should not hear bad words from their parents or see them doing dubious things - and it is on them that all the most interesting movie plots are based. Therefore, Finn, Hazel and Henry have not yet watched a single film with Julia's participation - and they are unlikely to watch in the near future.

Julia Roberts is famous not only for her bright roles in films, but also for contracts with the highest fees. For many, it remains a mystery how a girl from a simple low-income family managed to build such a dizzying career. She quickly surpassed the achievements of her older brother Eric and still remains one of the main stars of Hollywood.
Perhaps the secret lies in her explosive temperament, which has become a byword among the figures of the film industry. Julia often went ahead in business matters and in her personal life. Her heroines also differ in character with a core and the ability to withstand turmoil. Only after stepping over the forty-year milestone, the American "beauty" calmed down a bit and found harmony and family happiness. She became softer and more friendly, which only added to her charm.
The prosperous Roberts family of Julie Fiona can be called a stretch. Her parents were provincial actors, but the profession did not give them a livelihood, and they made a living selling household goods.
Julia's mother, Betty Lou, was also a church secretary. When Julie was born on October 28, 1967, the family already had two children: Eric and Lisa. The girl spent all her childhood in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia. The financial situation of her parents was deplorable, and she wore clothes for her older sister and endured the ridicule of the neighboring children.
In 1971, Betty Lou and Walter divorced and started new families a couple of years later. Julie, like her brother and sister, did not find with her stepfather common language, and Eric soon left the house, deciding to become an actor. Occasionally, news came from him, and then relatives saw him in small roles in television films.
A big shock for her was the death of her father in 1977 from cancer. A few months earlier, his second wife, with whom Julie had a good relationship, also died. In the early 80s, her mother divorced again, left with a small child in her arms - the girl Nancy. In an interview, the actress talks little about her childhood, mentioning only that it was not happy.
After receiving a high school diploma, Julie entered the University of Georgia and moved to the city of Athens. Her studies there were short-lived, as her older brother and sister convinced her that she was wasting her time. Eric and Lisa got roles in movies and TV shows and strongly suggested that Julie also become an actress.
The girl succumbed to persuasion and, leaving the university, settled with her sister in New York. She worked hard to get rid of her southern accent and took acting classes. Together with her sister, they attended auditions endlessly, but the only role Julie received was a 15-second appearance on the screen in the second-rate comedy Fire Brigade.
She was also paid small fees for shooting for clothing catalogs as a model. High growth, for which she was teased at school, served her well.
Development assistance acting career Julia (she changed her name to add a letter at the end) was provided by her brother Eric. He already had some weight with the representatives of the film industry and persuaded the director of his film to give the role to his sister.
At the time, Julia idolized Eric, who was educated in London, at the Royal Dramatic School. His father, who believed in his son's acting future, paid for his education. One word from her older brother was enough for her to play a minor but prominent heroine in the film Red as Blood. The plot worried her a little, the main task was to start filming.
In 1987, Julia was offered leading role in the low-budget film "Mystic Pizza". The story of young girlfriends who fell in love and parted with their boyfriends was liked by the audience and earned three times more filming costs at the box office.
After completing work on the painting, Roberts retained the image of a red-haired beast for several years. The image was an actress to face and made her appearance spectacular. After contracting meningitis, she moved to Los Angeles to be treated at a clinic.
The desire to succeed forced Julia to look through information from her agent, even suffering from a severe headache. In Hollywood, she auditioned for a role in Steel Magnolias and received a promise to consider her candidacy for a role in $3,000. It was the working title of the future "Pretty Woman".
Participation in the film "Steel Magnolias" changed the attitude of the producers towards the aspiring actress. Her game was recognized as brilliant, Roberts received a nomination for the prestigious Oscar and the Golden Globe award. To yesterday's debutante, who had been vainly knocking around the thresholds of studios for several years, what was happening seemed like a miracle.
Julia was used to overcoming endless difficulties, and the sudden love of those around her plunged her into shock. However, it is easier to get used to happy twists of fate than to problems, and the actress continued to move on.
The film "Pretty Woman", released in 1990, turned her into an idol in the United States and around the world. Her partner, a well-known Hollywood intellectual, tried to characterize her role as shallow and stereotyped, but fans of the picture did not agree with him. Both actors have long been associated with the audience with their favorite tape.
After the triumph of "Pretty Woman" Roberts starred in 2-3 films annually, and her fees grew significantly with each new picture. She was constantly invited to festivals and presentations, and her photographs graced the covers of glossy magazines.
The actress miraculously combined inner strength and, therefore, Julia always looks special on the screen. Spectators and critics are primarily attracted by her personality. She also makes us look forward to the release of paintings with the participation of the star.
Directors and producers noted that Julia looks great both in the role of the main character's beloved, and in the company of women of all ages. In the future, she will be offered mainly romantic comedies and family dramas. The first serious heroine in "Steel Magnolias" - the resilient Shelby - she succeeded and reflected the essence of the actress herself.
Julia Roberts starred in this film at the beginning of her career. She had the opportunity to become a character actress and play villains and criminals. Her brother Eric chose a similar role.
Fortunately, director Herbert Ross noticed the girl's kind smile and invited her to Steel Magnolias, directing Julia's career in a different direction. As one of 6 friends, the character Roberts binds the rest of the characters and does not let them lose heart.
Her Shelby is diabetic but continues to lead full life and getting ready for the wedding. The actress talentedly performed a bright role and became recognizable and in demand after her.
The plot of the next "Cinderella" at first did not promise anything supernatural, but unexpectedly for the studio "Touchstone Pictures" the film broke all records of popularity. The notorious "chemistry" between Richard Gere and Julia Roberts was important factor success. Having finished shooting, the actress tried to transfer it to real life, but Gere became interested in model Cindy Crawford and married her.
Each actor involved in the film performed his role wonderfully, thanks to which romantic story love looks at one go. The film grossed half a billion dollars worldwide, and Roberts was hailed as the premier commercial actress of the 1990s.
One way or another, the producers tried to repeat the success of "Pretty Woman". Many scripts were rejected, but in Runaway Bride, both Gere and Roberts agreed to participate.
The comedy about a girl who repeatedly ran away from the crown did not have the same success as their first film together. And yet, loyal fans of the on-screen couple watched it with pleasure.
The role of an impulsive human rights activist without a legal education interested Julia Roberts. She saw many of her own traits in her character. It is possible that if the career of an actress in Hollywood did not work out, she would also become an activist.
Roberts' acting was so good that it earned her many awards, including an Oscar. Julia prefers to hide information about the difficulties of working on the role, but after "Erin Brockovich" she noted that emotions overwhelmed her during the filming and did not allow her to relax for a minute.
The real Erin Brockovich, with whom the actress became friends, appeared in the film as a cafe waitress.
Nominations and awards rained down on Julia Roberts after the film "Steel Magnolias". Among the main awards:
12 times the actress admitted herself beautiful woman peace. Dozens of times she appeared on the covers of magazines. She was invited to their talk shows by Oprah Winfrey, James Corden and other famous TV presenters.
In her youth, Julia devoted most of her time to filming a movie, so her lovers most often became men related to the film industry. Spending mental strength on the site, the girl was less willing to spend them on gentlemen, but her charm did not leave the representatives of the stronger sex indifferent.
The actress is credited with novels with actors Matthew Perry and. She left Kiefer Sutherland just before the wedding, leaving him to explain to his relatives and guests. Journalists and paparazzi hunted for sensations that lurked in Julia's new relationship with country singer Lyle Lovett.
In 1993, "Pretty Woman" for unknown reasons hastily married the unattractive Lovett. This topic was joked about by America's comedians throughout their two-year marriage, predictably referring to Lovett as "The Beast."
Followed by a 4-year-old roman roberts with actor Benjamin Bratt, with whom she was passionately in love. Notes about their relationship appeared in the press regularly and made the star very angry. The harassment of reporters ended after her second marriage to cameraman Danny Moder in 2002.
The couple began to lead a measured life, disappearing to a ranch in Tahoe, where Julia was gardening. After giving birth to twins Hazel Patricia and Finneas Walter in 2004, the actress took a break from her career and enjoyed motherhood. After 3 years, the couple had a son, Henry Daniel.
Julie became Julia because there was already an American actress named Julie Roberts. She never used the middle name "Fiona", believing that the brevity of the sound would help others more easily remember her name.
Roberts big size legs and a big smile. She turned her flaws into a trademark. Often in films, the actress appears barefoot, not embarrassed by her long foot. A prehistoric woman with perfectly preserved teeth was named after Julia Roberts.
Pretty Woman was not supposed to end with a happy ending. Director Garry Marshall changed the ending, where the billionaire quarrels with Vivienne and kicks her out of the car, and then the girl seeks solace in Disneyland.
Roberts became popular after the success of "Steel Magnolias", and it was decided to make the new picture more joyful. Who knows if she would have received such recognition if the director had kept the original idea?
In 2017, the actress celebrated her 50th birthday. She looks young and is not going to lose her position in the ranking of the highest paid actors in Hollywood. Appearing at social events, she invariably attracts the attention of photographers.
In 2018, Roberts went blonde and her new image everybody liked it. The appearance of the actress is often discussed after the start of her collaboration with the Lancome brand.

Films with Julia Roberts are a significant event not only for her fans, but for all movie lovers. The heroines played by the actress are extraordinary personalities with their positive and negative traits. They are brave, but vulnerable, like Roberts herself.
Many lyrical comedies, like "Notting Hill" and "America's Darlings", won the hearts of the audience forever. In them, the actress is sweet and attractive. With the acquisition of a family and children, she became like that in life.

The most satisfying moment was the scene in Rome where I order lunch for my friends - it was incredibly nice to sit and just look at all these people who go out of their way to make a good movie. In India, I was impressed by one village in the province of Rajasthan. There, the women wear brightly colored clothes and elaborate twisted jewelry. They are so elegant and stunning in their outfits.

Julia Roberts - one of the brightest Hollywood actresses, was born on 10/28/1967 in Atlanta (USA).
Julia's parents were madly in love with the theater. Actually, they met on the stage during a rehearsal of an amateur performance in the army theater.

In childhood
A few years later, they organized a small theater studio, which teenagers enjoyed visiting. It is noteworthy that among their students were the children of Martin Luther King. And it was he who paid the medical bill at the birth of Julia - the parents then had a very difficult financial situation.

In 1990, she was lucky enough to get into the cast of the film "Steel Magnolias" - touching story about difficult life six women. The brilliant directorial work of Herbert Ross received several prestigious awards at once, and Julia herself brought fame and her first Oscar (for a supporting role).
But a year later she becomes real star. In 1991, the film "Pretty Woman" was released - almost fabulous and very beautiful story about the love of a millionaire and a street prostitute. Perhaps Julia was able to play the love for her handsome partner on the set so believably because she was actually very passionate about him.
But he had an affair with another actress, and all attempts by Julia to attract his attention outside the site ended in failure.
However, after the premiere of the film, the name of Julia Roberts was recognized not only in the United States. The film received several Oscars at once, and the actress herself received the second prestigious award for the main role. Immediately she gets on the covers of the most prestigious glossy magazines, and at the same time in the list of the 50 most beautiful people peace.
From that moment on, she was invited to play only the main roles, with which she coped brilliantly. The dramatic film "Die Young" about the fate of a young guy with cancer, for whom Julia became the first real feeling, consolidated the success. And then another melodrama "Notting Hill" brought the girl another Oscar.
Currently, Julia Roberts remains one of the most sought-after and highly paid Hollywood actresses. Her fees reach 25 million dollars per film.
