The Queen of Rom Coms. Ok maybe not, but that sounds much better than a one trick pony. This Pretty Woman became known for being, well a pretty woman as she was nominated for an Oscar for her whorish role alongside Richard Gere, in 1990. Since then Julia has had most of her success sticking to the same genre, and was finally awarded her Oscar ten years later when she played Erin Brockovich. Not bad for someone who originally wanted to be a Vet.
