Julia

Her Life

By: James Spada

Narrated by: Ellen Archer

Julia Roberts represents a return to the glamour of the great Hollywood stars of another era. Fans flock to her movies, and she's a staple cover subject of People magazine and every entertainment show imaginable. But her real life has only been seen in tabloid glimpses - until now.

James Spada goes back to Julia's beginnings in Athens, Georgia, to unearth fascinating facts about her family and her early dating life. He follows her career from movie to movie - both onscreen and behind the screen - to show fans what the private face of Julia really is.

As an artist Julia has changed dramatically from the talented but sheltered girl who found fame in the independent film Mystic Pizza to an Oscar-winning actress capable of taking on the toughest roles. As a person she's grown from a skittish and gangly girl moving through relationships with costars to become an assured woman making her own bold decisions about how to live her life.

Julia will delight fans with its level of detail and fresh information as well as its thoughtfulness about the life and career of a truly vibrant and complex star.

Great Job on spitting on an icon

Started off great. Julias’ childhood and background/ well done. Then he had to needle away at what a slut and troubled person she became. I hope someone does the same to Mr. James Spader/ I would guess his life story has some pits of it own.

Not Just Julia Roberts

The author describes too many Hollywood actors involved in Julia’s life. She gave too much detail about other people. Long book.
