Hollywood actor Julia Roberts turns 53 today and most of us recognise her as the nineties heartthrob who gave us some of the most iconic movies that defined a generation.
Roberts made her professional debut playing a survivor of sexual assault on an episode of Crime Story in 1987. After playing some minor roles in the late eighties, Roberts became a breakthrough star with the 1990 movie Pretty Woman. Roberts went on to star in roles that redefined the rom-com genre. Since then, Roberts has worked as an actor for over thirty years now acting in at least 50 films.
Take a look at some of her most memorable romantic comedies:
Pretty Woman
