[edit] Born in Atlanta, Ga./Grew up in Smyrna, Ga.

Julia Roberts was not born in Smyrna, Ga., but rather Atlanta, Ga. Her parents operated an acting school off of Juniper Street in midtown. When they divorced, Julia, along with her mother and sister moved to Smyrna, Ga. Julia graduated for Campbell High School in Smyrna.

See The New Georgia Encyclopedia [1]; IMDb and other sites have her bith place listed incorrectly.

[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 21:55, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Born Julie or Julia?

Until today, the article said she was "Julia Roberts (born 'Julie Fiona Roberts')." Was she born "Julie" or "Julia"? If it's Julie, we should get that back in there. JDoorjam Talk 23:25, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

"[H]er large hazel eyes and huge mouth are capable of much expression, sometimes radiance, when she cuts loose with her trademark toothy megawatt smile and a braying laugh."

I don't mean to be a pedant, but this reads more like an anthropology textbook than a biographical sketch!

[edit] Highest paid actress

I think the second highest paid actress portion of this page should be removed because Witherspoon isn't there yet. That $29 million salary rumor was quashed by her rep so...

yes but Reese was named highest payed actrees in hollywood in 2007 with 15-20 million per flim so if not the second shes the same as julia no actress has ever got 29 million for a flim (only Cameron Dias got something like that all together including box office profetts not on film money alone) male actors get more than woman —Preceding unsigned comment added by Veggiegirl (talk • contribs) 16:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Born Julia, not Julie

See http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000210/bio Julie Fitzgerald

IMDB is not a trusted source. It's edited by people just like Wikipedia is. There are other sources that corroborate "Julie," like this one. This has been covered MANY times on this talk page. This issue should be considered closed. Mike H. I did "That's hot" first! 01:20, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
"IMDB is not a trusted source. It's edited by people just like Wikipedia is." Wow... But I do agree with you... I think... IronCrow 05:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] part cherokee?

I read it, but I don't remember where... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 87.24.19.103 (talk • contribs) 11:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC).


LOOK WHAT SOME OTHER PERSON PUT UNDER HER EARLY CAREER!!!!!!!It needs to be removed


However, it was reciently discovered that she co-stared in one adult film; Vacuum Suckers 4. Thanks to a surprisingly wide mouth, Julia was able to successfuly deepthroat two large male genetalia at the same time, a feat never again performed by any other actress. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infiniti370 (talk • contribs) 20:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Early life - edit of 15 February 2007 by 84.196.229.189

This edit changed a couple of sentences to read "Roberts's parents divorced when she was four, and her mother remarried. Her father died of cancer when Roberts was nine." This IP has a history of introducing incorrect information, but I hesitate to revert the edit because I have no independent way to verify it. Please could someone who has check it out?

I know, I know. I should reference the diff. I haven't got the hang of doing that yet. Philip Trueman 11:46, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Personal life under personal life?

Is it just me, or is having a "personal life" section under the "personal life" section a bit... wierd? Any ideas on what to do, because that looks uh... funky." IronCrow 05:21, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I got rid of the unneeded section header --rogerd 13:12, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Tinkerhell" Information?

While I'm not usually one to seek out this kind of information, I have to admit that I was a little disappointed to see that there wasn't anything in this article about Julia's infamously difficult behavior on movie sets. Naturally, I'm almost positive I've only seen references to this on IMDB, which isn't exactly truthiness central. Nonetheless, it might be interesting to see some good, verifiable info on the popular perception of Julia as a difficult actress to work with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.120.254.253 (talk) 13:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Julia Homewrecker???

Is the personal life info accurate? Has this woman been with so many men whom she's made leave their spouses?

[edit] Eric Roberts

Is Eric Roberts,Julia Roberts brother? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.95.28.121 (talk) 21:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes. See the Eric Roberts article for more information about him. —Lowellian (reply) 11:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
