A Look into the Life of Hollywood’s Pretty Woman: Julia Roberts

Acting is in Her Blood

On October 28th, 1967, Julia Fiona Roberts was born in Smyrna, Georgia, and was the youngest of three kids. Her parents were both actors and taught classes to aspiring performers and writers. Although her parents stopped working together when they got divorced in 1971, Roberts was still exposed to acting growing up.

Roberts told Vanity Fair in an interview that she most likely would not have gone into the industry if her parents weren’t actors. “It just wouldn’t have occurred to me,” she expressed. “My dad would take my sister and me to plays when we were young, like six or seven years old. We saw ‘Hair’ in New York on summer vacation. We would go see Yul Brynner do ‘The King and I’ in Atlanta.”
