A Tribute to Julia Roberts


Words won't do the job, Julia Roberts needs to be seen on the screen to understand why she earns one of the biggest paychecks in Hollywood. A dazzling smile, a unique charm, fresh beauty, that's why audiences love her. Every time she tried to detour from light romantic comedy her fans wanted to pull her back to it. But she had one of her biggest successes (and won a Best Actress Oscar) for a different kind of role in Erin Brockovich. She's already made over thirty movie and we're ready to ride along for the next thirty. We would like to invite you to come along with us in Destination Hollywood's Tribute to Julia Roberts.


Coming Soon


Julia Roberts has a new movie completed called Fireflies in the Garden. It doesn't seem to have a release date yet (bad sign) but you can watch some clips from this drama about a very unhappy family. Julia plays Ryan Reynold's mother. Is this possible? She's 40, he's 31 so not really but most of the movie is told in flashbacks and Ryan's character is played by a thirteen year old.

Julia is now filming a thriller called Duplicity. Quite a cast: Julia, Clive Owens, Billy Bob Thorton, Paul Giamatti, and Tom Wilkenson. Billy Bob and Wilkenson play rival pharmaceutical company CEOs and Julia and Clive Owens are corporate spies. It's written and directed by Tony Gilroy who received Oscar nominations for his last movie Michael Clayton.


New on DVD


Julia Roberts's most recent movie, Charlie Wilson's War , is now available on DVD.

Destination Hollywood Suggests this Tribute dedicated to two of Julia Roberts's movies ...

A Tribute to Pretty Woman

This is the one that made Julia Roberts a star, rejuvenated Richard Gere's career and glamorized the age-old profession of streetwalking. Two out of three ain't bad.


A Tribute to Ocean's Eleven

The house always wins ... unless you're part of this ultra hip gang of guys. Two sets of 11 men, separated only by 40 years, set their sights on Vegas riches. Join the fun in our Tribute to Ocean's Eleven.

Anna Scott ( Notting Hill ):

"I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
