![]() ![]() ![]() And Julia Roberts has ( has – she still does) more presence than most big actors combined. ![]() Movie stars might have talent and range, but that’s not what makes them stars what makes them stars is, ironically, a limitation: The one (or sometimes two) things everyone knows them for, the qualities that define their presence. The all-consuming totality of the Julia Roberts phenomenon was well-earned. Even when she failed - as in that brief period in the mid-1990s when she attempted more ostensibly serious fare - somehow we all felt embroiled in the fate of career. From her star-making turn in Pretty Woman in 1990 through the early 2000s (when she took a step back from her whirlwind career to start a family), she was a dominant cultural force. For many who came of age in the 1990s, Julia Roberts was more than a movie star she was an existential fact.
