Julia Roberts at 57: Photos of the Ageless “Pretty Woman”

On October 28, Julia Roberts celebrated her 57th birthday—one of Hollywood’s brightest stars. True success came to her after her role in the 1990 film Pretty Woman, a role that solidified her legacy in both her career and in global cinema history. Her filmography now includes over 80 films, and she is a three-time Golden Globe winner. However, her true triumph was her role in the biographical drama Erin Brockovich, which earned her an Oscar and several other prestigious awards in 2001.

Among other accolades, she has been named the “Most Beautiful Woman in the World” by People magazine twelve times.

At just ten years old, Roberts lost her father, who passed away suddenly, and her relationship with her stepfather was troubled. As the youngest of three children, she began working at age 13 as a waitress in a pizzeria. After finishing high school, she briefly studied journalism at Atlanta University before moving to New York City to follow her older brother, Eric, and sister, Lisa. There, she worked as a salesperson in a Manhattan sports shoe store.

Later, she signed a contract with the Click Modeling Agency and began taking acting classes, including private lessons to lose her Southern accent. This early experience among everyday Americans helped Roberts convincingly play a prostitute who wins the heart of a millionaire, portrayed by Richard Gere.

Julia Roberts is one of the highest-paid actresses globally. Her films have grossed over $2 billion at the box office.

Today, Roberts owns the production company Om Red Films. She is actively involved in charity work and participates in American politics as an influential and popular public figure.

On July 4, 2002, Julia married cinematographer Daniel Moder. They have three children: twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter (born November 28, 2004) and a son, Henry Daniel (born June 18, 2007).

Julia and her family split their time between a private penthouse in Manhattan, a ranch in Tahoe, and a mansion in Malibu, California.

In her spare time, Roberts enjoys outdoor activities and knitting, which has become a creative outlet for her.

She is passionate about yoga, spirituality, and follows Hinduism. She often enjoys going barefoot, even on formal occasions.

One surprising fact Roberts revealed in an interview is that she sometimes bites her nails—not only on her hands but also on her toes! Thanks to regular yoga, the star has maintained a youthful flexibility and figure.
