Julia
Roberts to Quit Hollywood For Good
8/11/05
Julia Roberts has reportedly made her last movie and will quit acting
after appearing on Broadway next year (06) so she can spend time with her
baby twins.
The Oscar winner recently went back to work for the first time after
giving birth to Phinnaeus and Hazel last November (04), appearing in a
music video for rocker Dave Matthews.
She has only done voiceover work - for animated movies Charlotte's Web
and Ant Bully - since wrapping 2004 movie Ocean's
Twelve.
Roberts will spend the rest of the year (05) preparing for her theatre
debut in Three Days of Rain which opens next March (06) - and then retire
from acting for good.
According to sources close to the star, 37-year-old Roberts has had
enough of acting, wants to enjoy time with the twins and husband Danny
Moder - but she has just one more career goal left to achieve.
A friend tells the National Enquirer, "Julia is done with
Hollywood and starring in a Broadway play is the chance to make a graceful
exit.
"She's been talking about leaving Los Angeles and stopping the
movie roles ever since the twins were born late last November.
"She wanted a change of scenery, a change of pace and a new
challenge."
On her Broadway ambitions, the source adds, "She wants to take
some chances.
Julia doesn't to be known simply as a movie star - she wants to be
known as the consummate actress.
"She wants her kids to be able to look back on her career as
something more than just the star of Pretty Woman." |
