Julia Roberts Poem by Paula Glynn

Julia Fiona Roberts born October 28th 1967
To Atlanta Georgia
Brother Eric and sister Lisa
And niece Emma Roberts to also act.
An average upbringing
But with supermodel looks
And having the dream
To act and be characters
From books and books,
Adapted to screen
Julia Roberts to dream and dream
Her adult life to be surreal,
Not yet knowing
It will all be real.

After graduating high school
Julia Roberts was
To become an American producer and actress
First film to be ‘Firehouse' in 1987
A film straight to video
But for Julia to carry on with work
‘Mystic Pizza' a famous classic
1988 a reputation in acting
Julia to now be gaining
And in 1989 an experienced Julia
To star in ‘Steel Magnolias'
A film not forgotten by audiences
The world over
Julia to do well in comedy drama,

And so 1990 hit the cinemas
‘Pretty Woman'
An instant smash
Julia Roberts and Richard Gere
With instant chemistry
A storyline and film
Never forgotten in time
The character Vivian Ward
And Edward Lewis
Classics on the screen,
With the love story
Of two people
Caught between the worlds
Of rich and poor
A storyline no one to ignore
Or dismiss
For Julia Roberts
To receive Golden Globe award
For Best Supporting Actress.

And Julia Roberts
No one hit film wonder:
Her next film
‘Sleeping With The Enemy'
A psychological thriller
Written by Nancy Price in 1987
Another film here today
And a film watched
The world over,

1991 to be a another good year
Julia Roberts
The leader of the pack
Acting many characters
With personality that never lacks
Charisma or charm,

And films like ‘My Best Friend's Wedding'
Is super popular and super genius
Films prior, such as ‘Hook'
And ‘The Pelican Brief'
An adaption of the John Grisham novel
Of the same name
And a film unique with its storyline
Julia Roberts performing
A stellar job
With looks equal to her acting ability
Looking like a supermodel
With those long legs
For Julia Roberts
Is after my own heart
Her acting keeping her going
In every film, part after acting part.

Of course, came ‘Notting Hill'
And ‘Runaway Bride'
Popular but not reaching
The heights of ‘Pretty Woman'
1999 still a good year, though,
Julia Roberts having control
Over her choices of characters
In the pile of scripts
That she had to read through
And know what was right for her
Julia Roberts only choosing for herself
Every character played
From her skills as an actress
And from her heart,

And lucky, lucky Julia Roberts
To earn $20 million dollars
From her role in Erin Brockovich
Erin Brockovich herself to play
The waitress in the diner
And Julia went on to receive
Academy award for best actress
And the BAFTA award
For best actress in a leading role,

Films hits to go on and on:
Such as ‘America's Sweethearts'
And ‘Ocean's Eleven'
Afterwards the sequel ‘Ocean's Twelve'
Characters stretching
Julia Roberts acting skills
And gaining her status of most famous
Actress in Hollywood,

Much later films to include
Two animated roles
One to be in ‘Charlotte's Web'
And the other ‘The Ant Bully'
The latter a not so famous animation
But a beautiful film nevertheless
Along with another film
‘Mona Lisa Smile'
A classic the world over
And a film remembered
2003 seeing Julia carry on
Her acting career
Grossing her over $500 million dollars,

Julia also to advertise perfume
Lancome ‘La Vie Est Belle Eau'
An advert showcasing
The stunning Julia Roberts
With her beautiful
Silver high heels
And lipstick smile
The fountain to leave
Her walking on water
That advert to see true beauty and believe
A woman who has walked mile after mile
In those designer shoes
With a secret smile
That no one can take,

For her career is no fluke
And her reputation never fake
And is not an accident she is here
For Julia is the star of the show
Julia Roberts top Hollywood actress
And what she says goes
For these films live forever
Entertaining the entire world.
