Julia : her life
Spada, James
Julia : her life / James Spada - New York : St. Martin's Press , 2004. - 376 p. : col. ill. ; 25 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. [257]-363) and index.
Julia Roberts is both one of the most famous women in the world and one of the most private. Other than tabloid accounts, little has been written on her life. Spada, writer of over 15 other celebrity biographies, has scoured past literature on Roberts and interviewed childhood friends, family, and colleagues to produce an excellent overview of Roberts's life and career. She grew up in Georgia, the youngest of three children (fellow actor Eric is her brother). Her parents ran a local children's theater troupe and were well respected in the community. However, they also had a dark side; today Eric writes bitterly about his past, and Julia won't speak of it. Spada has unearthed little-known details of their upbringing and early life, which he contends have led to Julia's deep insecurity. However, he ultimately paints the picture of a bold, often controversial woman, now living life on her own terms. He also shares fresh details about her films and career.
