From the Publisher

Julia Roberts is now Hollywood’s highest–earning female lead—and she has kept the public and media fascinated since she first burst onto the screen in Mystic Pizza and Steel Magnolias. But it was her Golden Globe–winning performance opposite Richard Gere in Pretty Woman that created a superstar. Born in Atlanta into a family of actors, Roberts’ off–screen exploits have caused almost as much buzz as her film roles. Her last–minute break from actor Keifer Sutherland as they headed for the altar, as well as her sudden and short–lived marriage to singer Lyle Lovett, marked her impulsive journey though the 1990s—a period that also gained her a reputation for pulling out of film projects with little notice. Since her Academy Award–winning performance in Erin Brockovich, however, the focus has been firmly back on her career, and films as diverse as The Runaway Bride, Notting Hill, and the heist–movie remake Ocean’s Eleven have not disappointed her legion of fans. Now entertainment writer Paul Simpson offers a look at an actress who is where she belongs—at the absolute top.
