Now veteran celebrity biographer Frank Sanello brings fans up to date on the actress, including previously unreported details of her personal life and a look at the many rumors that have surrounded her. Based on a series of exclusive interviews with the actress herself as well as with colleagues and friends, this engrossing biography is a must-read for Julia Roberts¹ many fans.

By A Customer

Fans of the Pretty Woman will find this modern day fairy tale very inspiring: the small town girl has become Hollywood's most durable superstar, the one and only superstar of the nineties...This book provides great info and behind the scenes looks at Julia Roberts...It's like a huge article that covers everything from Julia's birth to the making of Erin Brockovich.
