  4. Dear Julia,

    I’ve seen a good majority of your flicks. You cry, I cry…You laugh, I laugh. I’m in awe with your acting ability, you cease to amaze me. I’m disappointed that Stepmom didn’t make the Top Ten, I still get emotional every time I watch it. With Pretty Woman you made most women want to become a hooker! Kinda. Notting Hill….awwww!!! Whether it’s comedy or drama you rock it girl! On a more personal note….I’m glad you aren’t a Runaway Bride anymore and you have a good man. (I hope I didn’t just jinx your marriage). Looking forward to more of your outstanding entertainment.

    -Cogerson if you could forward this to Ms. Roberts I’d appreciate it! Thanks for a tribute to Julia! 🙂
