Her first television appearance was in the initial season of the series Crime Story with Dennis Farina, in the episode titled "The Survivor", broadcast on February 13, 1987. Roberts first caught the attention of moviegoers with her performance in the independent film Mystic Pizza in 1988; that same year, she had a role in the last episode of season four of Miami Vice. The following year, she was featured in Steel Magnolias and garnered her first Oscar nomination (as Best Supporting Actress) for her performance. Roberts catapulted to worldwide fame when she co-starred with Richard Gere in the Pretty Woman in 1990. The role also earned her a second Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress. Her next box office success was the thriller Sleeping with the Enemy. She played Tinkerbell in Hook in 1991, and also played a Nurse in the 1991 film Dying Young; which was followed by a two-year hiatus, during which she made no films other than a cameo appearance in Robert Altman's The Player (1992). In 1993, she co-starred with Denzel Washington in the successful The Pelican Brief. She also starred in the 1996 film Michael Collins. Over the next few years, she starred in a series of films that were critical and commercial failures such as Mary Reilly (1996) for which earned a Razzie Worst Actress nomination. She broke her losing streak with the hugely popular comedy My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), and eventually regained her earlier reputation as an actress who could open a movie and guarantee box office success. She starred in the popular 1999 film Notting Hill. That same year, she also starred in Runaway Bride. Roberts was a guest star on the Law & Order television series, in a well-received episode broadcast on May 5, 1999 entitled "Empire”. In 2001, Roberts received the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of Erin Brockovich. Roberts would team up with Erin Brockovich director Steven Soderbergh for three more films: Ocean's Eleven (2001), Full Frontal (2002), and Ocean's Twelve (2004). Later in 2001 she starred in The Mexican. Julia Roberts made her Broadway debut on April 19, 2006 as Nan in a revival of 1997 play Three Days of Rain. Although the play grossed nearly US$1 million dollars in ticket sales during its first week and was a commercial success throughout its limited run, most critics heavily criticized Roberts' performance. Roberts did, however, receive a Broadway.com audience award (a minor theatrical prize) for her performance. Roberts's two films released in 2006, The Ant Bully and Charlotte's Web, were both animated features for which she provided only voice acting. Her next film was Charlie Wilson's War. Fireflies in the Garden is currently in post-production, with release set for 2008. It has also been announced that Roberts will star in The Friday Night Knitting Club. 2008 Fireflies in the Garden 2009 Duplicity (wikipedia) 1. WHICH ONE IS PRETTIER? 2. WHICH ONE IS MORE TALENTED?
