Julia Roberts became a star of romantic comedies and cult dramas in the 1990s. She was remembered for her wide smile, expressive eyes, luxurious hair – and the extraordinary talent that the actress demonstrated in numerous roles. Roberts' first major film work was the role of Daisy in the 1988 film “Mystic Pizza”, where she played an energetic rebellious girl. This was followed by “Steel Magnolias”, the legendary “Pretty Woman” and, of course, “My Best Friend's Wedding” and “Erin Brockovich”, for the main role of which Julia received an Oscar, proving that she is not only a romantic heroine, but also an actress with serious dramatic talent.

Julia Roberts's first steps in the film industry can be recalled through her archival photos, including from the red carpet. In the mid-1980s, she posed, almost unrecognizable, in a modest image: a neat bob with short bangs, crystal earrings and shiny shirts. At that time, Julia was only 18 years old, she was just starting her career. She imitated her older brother, actor Eric Roberts, who had already achieved success and received Golden Globe nominations for his work in soap operas and popular films.
Julia's career took off after her first television role in 1987. She played a traumatized girl on the NBC series Crime Story and quickly landed other roles that brought her closer to fame. Success came the following year.
On screen, on the red carpet, or in everyday life, the actress has always attracted attention with her innate charm and charisma. This is demonstrated by archival photos that recall the early years of Julia Roberts' career.
