Julia Roberts
Cake 'n' candles: October 28, 1967

Anything Julia Roberts does is magic. This 'pretty woman' occupies a special place in the hearts of millions with her brilliant screen presence and impressive acting skills.

Did you know that this Oscar-winner (for Erin Brocovich) originally wanted to become a veterinarian? She went on to do a course in journalism at Atlanta University, only to transform into a celluloid dream with her big break in Mystic Pizza.

Hits like Pretty Woman, Sleeping with the Enemy, My Best Friend's Wedding, Notting Hill and Runaway Bride made her America's leading sweetheart.

Currently married to cinematographer Daniel Moder, Roberts is awaiting the release of her new movie, Mona Lisa Smile.
