It Wasn’t Pretty At All For The Prettiest Julia Roberts

Julia Roberts auditioned for the part of Linda Warner on All My Children and the part of Hayley Benson on Santa Barbara but in both the occasions, she got rejected. And when she made her film debut in Blood Red, she got just two words of dialogue.

SO WHAT!

Not only this pretty woman has a Mona Lisa kinda smile, but she was the first actress to get paid a $20 million paycheck for a movie as well. Even in the Hollywood Reporter’s annual power list of top-earning female stars, she has topped for four consecutive years (2002-2006). And as of 2007, her films have grossed more than $2.1 billion at the American box-office, making her the biggest female star of all time.

Vyo— Hahahaha. Yes, sometimes rejection taste very bitter. But it has also good point. You can look upto you and find the area where you can grow more. You know, it’s all because of rejection, I hv grown myself.


Aneesh—Hey, thanks for dropping. Exactly. Maybe we don’t get second change to make a first impression, but we get hundreds of chances to make last-long impression.


Shilpa—Einstein. He even failed at the first attempt to get in Zurich Polytechnic. He got the admittance after the second attempt.
