Julia Roberts: America's SweetheartAt the 27th Annual People's Choice Awards in January 2001, Oscar hopeful Julia Roberts was elected America's favorite female film star for the second year in a row. Roberts took the podium and thanked her date, Joe Roth, who had directed her in America's Sweethearts, and Steven Soderbergh, who had directed her in Erin Brockovich.
The pretty woman then declared that she was honored to have appeared in Erin Brockovich, adding that the character allowed her to have breasts for the first time in her life!
[Among those whom Roberts later forgot to include in her Academy Awards acceptance speech for her role in the film? The real-life Erin Brockovich! "It doesn't bring out the Einstein moment that you hoped it would," she later lamented.]
