Julia Robert: America's Sweetheart On a Bumpy Ride

She's arguably held the title of America's Sweetheart since her breakthrough performance in 'Pretty Woman' over ten years ago. Where does the time go?! Around the same time, she lit up the screen in 'Steel Magnolias' and 'Sleeping With the Enemy' and was the darling of Hollywood. Her love life, however, took some sharp turns following her meteoric rise to the top. Not long after her first box-office bonanza, Julia broke off her engagement to Keifer Sutherland and began a still-bewildering marriage with country singer Lyle Lovett.

While Julia struggled with her love interests in the mid- and late nineties, her work in films struggled as well. Appearances in 'I Love Trouble' and a handful of other yawners left the statuesque beauty out of America's focus, although still on somewhat of a pedestal. In the last couple years, Julia has regained stability in her love life and her title as The Biggest Name in Hollywood. Coming off the tremendous success of 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' 'Notting Hill,' and 'Erin Brockovich,' Julia is now hotter than ever before. But her love life is back in a state of flux.

Her long and seemingly fairy-tale romance with Benjamin Bratt ended recently, with some saying that a steamy dance floor romp with George Clooney was the final straw for Bratt. Regardless of the reasons behind the break-up, Julia once again enters an unsure romantic future, with the eyes of America glued to every move of its favorite 'Sweetheart.'
