Why Julia Roberts Will Always Be Hollywood’s Golden Girl

She started on TV

After graduating high school in 1985, Julia decided to leave Georgia and head for New York City to pursue acting. She moved in with her sister Lisa who was already living in the city, while her brother, Eric, was also residing there. She got her acting debut on the TV series “Crime Story” and from the outset, it was clear that Roberts was going to be a star.

David Burke said of her “Julia was unusually magnetic, she really popped when she was on screen. You knew she was in it for the long haul, that was clear.”
