After a very public and bitter split with Keifer Sutherland, Julia Roberts found herself splashed all over the tabloids and papers and the split seemed to affect her career, too. In 1991, Roberts filmed Dying Young with Campbell Scott and Hook with Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams, both didn’t do as well as expected.

After a two year hiatus, Roberts filmed the 1993 thriller The Pelican Brief with Denzel Washington, and the film won over critics with many noting that her acting hiatus was a success for the actress.
