'''Charles Francis Fox''' ([[October 7]], [[1921]]–[[February 16]], [[2004]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[manager (baseball)|manager]], [[General Manager (baseball)|general manager]], [[scout (sport)|scout]], [[Coach (baseball)|coach]]—and, briefly, a [[catcher]]—in [[Major League Baseball]]. As manager of the [[National League West Division]] champion [[San Francisco Giants]] in [[1971 in baseball|1971]], he was named "Manager of the Year" by ''[[The Sporting News]]''.
'''Julia Fiona Roberts''' ([[October 28]], [[1967]]) is an [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning [[United States|American]] [[film actress]] and former [[fashion model]]. She shot to fame during the early 1990s after starring in the [[romantic comedy]], ''[[Pretty Woman]]'', opposite [[Richard Gere]]. Since then, Roberts has become the highest-paid actress in the world, topping the ''[[Hollywood Reporter]]'s'' annual power list of top-earning female stars for four consecutive years (2002-2005). Her career includes films such as ''[[Pretty Woman]]'', ''[[Runaway Bride (1999)|Runaway Bride]]'', and ''[[Ocean's Eleven (2001 film)|Ocean's Eleven]],'' which have collectively earned box office receipts well over $2 billion. She won the Best Actress [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] in 2001 for her critically praised turn as the title character in ''[[Erin Brockovich (film)|''Erin Brockovich'']]'' after two previous nominations during the 1990s. For her fame and wholesome image, she is often referred to as "America's Sweetheart".
An unprecedented $25 million was paid to Roberts for her role in 2003's ''[[Mona Lisa Smile]]''. As of [[2007]], Roberts' net worth was estimated around US$140,000,000.<ref>http://www.forbes.com/2007/01/17/richest-women-entertainment-tech-media-cz_lg_richwomen07_0118womenstars_lander.html</ref> She was also the first actress to appear on the cover of ''Vogue'' and the first woman to land on the cover of ''GQ''. She has been named one of ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World" a record-setting eleven times, tied with Halle Berry. In 2001 [[Ladies Home Journal]] ranked her as [[The 30 Most Powerful Women in America|the 11th most powerful woman in America]] beating out then national security advisor [[Condoleezza Rice]] and first lady [[Laura Bush]].
Born in [[New York City]], Fox appeared in only three games as a player (garnering three [[hit (baseball)|hits]] in seven [[at bat]]s for a career [[batting average]] of .429) with the 1942 New York Giants, but Fox would spend another 33 years in that organization as a [[minor league baseball|minor league]] catcher and manager and as a manager, scout and coach for the Giants, who relocated to [[San Francisco, California|San Francisco]] in 1958. Fox spent eight years as manager of the Giants' Class C [[St. Cloud, Minnesota|St. Cloud]] team in the [[Northern League (baseball, 1902-71)|Northern League]], scouted from 1957–63, then managed the Giants' AAA [[Tacoma, Washington|Tacoma]] club of the [[Pacific Coast League]] in 1964 before coming to the major leagues as a San Francisco coach in [[1965 in baseball|1965]]. He returned to the PCL to manage the Giants' [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] club in 1969–70 until he was summoned to San Francisco in May [[1970 in baseball|1970]] to replace [[Clyde King]] as the manager of the big club.
She maintains a close friendship with actress-activist [[Susan Sarandon]].
Fox led the Giants to the NL West title in 1971, losing to the eventual world champion [[Pittsburgh Pirates]] in the [[National League Championship Series]]. Subsequently, the Giants made a series of bad trades and fell from contention thereafter. In mid-[[1974 in baseball|1974]], after compiling a record of 348–327 (.516), Fox was replaced as manager by former stalwart Giants catcher [[Wes Westrum]].
==Biography==
===Early life===
It is commonly mistaken that Julia's birth name is "Julie," however, Julia has said in interviews that "Julie" was a nickname given to her by classmates in elementary school, and she never took well to it. Roberts was born in [[Smyrna, Georgia]].
Her father, Walter Grady Roberts, was a vacuum cleaner salesman, and her [[Minneapolis, Minnesota]]-born mother, Betty Lou Bredemus, was a one-time church secretary and a real estate agent.<ref>http://landing.ancestry.com/famoustree/index.aspx?name=roberts&offerId=0:679:0</ref> Her parents, one-time actors and playwrights, met while performing theatrical productions for the armed forces and later co-founded the Atlanta Actors and Writers Workshop in Georgia; the two divorced in 1971. Her mother later re-married to Michael Motes. Roberts's father died of cancer when she was 10. Her elder brother, [[Eric Roberts]], from whom she is estranged, is also an actor, as is her niece, [[Emma Roberts]], whom she would often take along on sets when she was younger. Roberts wanted to be a veterinarian as a child, but soon after graduating from Smyrna's [[Campbell High School (Georgia)|Campbell High School]],<ref>http://www.cobbk12.org/~campbellhs</ref> and after attending [[Georgia State University]], she headed to [[New York]] to join her sister and pursue a career in acting. Once there, she signed with the Click modeling agency and enrolled in acting classes. She reverted to her original name "Julia Roberts" when she found that there was already a "Julie Roberts" registered with the [[Screen Actors Guild]].
In [[1976 in baseball|1976]], he joined the front office of the [[Montreal Expos]] and served as the club's emergency manager when [[Karl Kuehl]] was fired September 4. After winning only 12 of 34 games to close out the season, Fox was named the club's general manager and was succeeded on the field by [[Dick Williams]]. He held the GM title in Montreal through the [[1978 in baseball|1978]] season.
==Career==
===1986—1989, Early career===
Roberts made her film debut playing a supporting role opposite her brother, Eric, in ''Blood Red'' (she gets just two words of dialogue), which, although completed in 1986, was not released until 1989. She once appeared on [[Sesame Street]] opposite the character [[Elmo]], demonstrating her ability to change emotions. Roberts first caught the attention of moviegoers with her performance in the independent film ''[[Mystic Pizza]]'' in 1988; the same year she had a role in the last episode of season four of [[Miami Vice]]. The following year she was featured in ''[[Steel Magnolias]]'' as a young bride battling [[diabetes]] and garnered her first [[Academy Award|Oscar]] nomination (as Best Supporting Actress) for her performance.
Fox, however, was destined to serve another term as an interim manager. In [[1983 in baseball|1983]], while working as a special assistant to [[Chicago Cubs]] general manager [[Dallas Green]], Fox took over from embattled skipper [[Lee Elia]] and managed the Cubs for the final 39 games of the season, winning 17 and losing 22. He later coached under Green with the [[New York Yankees]], and scouted for the [[Houston Astros]].
===1990—2000, Breakout role and eventual success===
[[Image:PrettyWomenshot1.jpg|thumb|right|230px|Alongside [[Richard Gere]] in the hugely successful ''[[Pretty Woman]]'', 1990, Robert's breakout role]]
Roberts first catapulted to worldwide fame when she co-starred with [[Richard Gere]] in the [[Cinderella]] story ''[[Pretty Woman (movie)|Pretty Woman]]'' in 1990. The role also earned her a second Oscar nod, this time as Best Actress. Her next box office success was the thriller ''[[Sleeping with the Enemy (1991 film)|Sleeping with the Enemy]]'', playing a battered wife who escapes her demented husband and starts a new life in Iowa. She played [[Tinkerbell]] in [[Steven Spielberg]]'s ''[[Hook (film)|Hook]]'' in 1991, which was followed by a two-year period of no acting roles other than a cameo appearance in [[Robert Altman]]'s ''[[The Player]]'' (1992). In early 1993, she was the subject of a ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine cover story asking, "What Happened to Julia Roberts?"
Fox's career major league managing record was 377–371 (.504).
In 1993, she co-starred with [[Denzel Washington]] in the successful ''[[The Pelican Brief (film)|The Pelican Brief]]'', based on the [[John Grisham]] novel. She also starred alongside [[Liam Neeson]] in the 1996 film [[Michael Collins (film)|Michael Collins]]. Over the next few years, she starred in a series of films that were critical and commercial failures, primarily because she was cast in roles that strayed too far from her film persona. She broke her losing streak with the hugely popular comedy ''[[My Best Friend's Wedding]]'' (1997), and eventually regained her earlier reputation as an actress who could open a movie and guarantee box office success. She then starred with [[Hugh Grant]] in the popular 1999 film ''[[Notting Hill (film)|Notting Hill]]''. In that same year she also starred in ''[[Runaway Bride]]'', another movie with the famous ''[[Julia Roberts]]''-''[[Richard Gere]]'' duo.
Fox died at age 82 in [[Stanford, California]].
===2001—2006, continued success===
In 2001, she won critical acclaim and finally received a [[Academy Award for Best Actress|Best Actress]] Oscar for her portrayal of [[Erin Brockovich]], who helped wage a successful lawsuit against energy giant [[Pacific Gas & Electric]]. Whilst presenting the Best Actor Award to [[Denzel Washington]] the following year she made a gaff when she said she was glad [[Tom Conti]] wasn't there. She meant the conductor [[Bill Conti]] who tried to hasten the conclusion of her speech the previous year but named the British actor instead.<ref>http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006015/news Julia Roberts criticised for behaviour at Oscars</ref> Subsequently, Roberts would team up with ''Erin Brockovich'' director [[Steven Soderbergh]] for three more films: ''[[Ocean's Eleven (2001 film)|Ocean's Eleven]]'', ''[[Full Frontal]]'', and ''[[Ocean's Twelve]]''.

Roberts recently enjoyed her Broadway debut as Nan in ''[[Three Days of Rain]]'' opposite ''[[Alias]]'' and ''[[Kitchen Confidential]]'' star [[Bradley Cooper]], and ''[[The 40 Year Old Virgin]]'' star, [[Paul Rudd]], at the [[Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre]]. Although the play [[Gross profit|grossed]] nearly one million dollars in ticket sales its first week out and continued to be a commercial success throughout its limited run, most critics have heavily criticized Roberts' performance and the play itself. The ''New York Times''' critic Ben Brantly, a self proclaimed 'Juliaholic', described her as being fraught with "self-consciousness (especially in the first act) [and] only glancingly acquainted with the two characters she plays." ''[[Three Days of Rain]]'' received two [[Tony Award]] nominations in stage design categories, but took home neither prize. Julia Roberts did, however, receive a Broadway.com audience award (a minor theatrical prize) for her performance.

{{succession box | title=[[San Francisco Giants/Managers and ownership|San Francisco Giants Manager]] | before=[[Clyde King]] | years=1971–1974| after=[[Wes Westrum]]}}
As of [[February 25]], [[2007]], Roberts's films have grossed $2,203,765,451 at the American box office making her the biggest female movie star in history and reaching this feat with only thirty films to her name. She was also placed at the pinnacle of the [[A-list#Ulmer Scale|Ulmer Scale]], a comprehensive guide to the global star power of actors and directors in independent and studio films created by [[James Ulmer (journalist)|James Ulmer]], ahead of such other luminaries as [[Tom Cruise]] and [[Tom Hanks]]. This was partly owing to her ability to attract filmgoers solely on the basis of her name's appearance above the title and without the support of a male co-star, something few other actresses are able to do.

==Personal life==
[[Image:Julia Roberts at Incirlik.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Roberts with Private First Class Sowell at Incirlik hospital, [[Incirlik Air Base]], [[Turkey]], [[December 7]], [[2001]]]]
Roberts's personal life has often been in the spotlight, a fact reflected in her ''[[Notting Hill (film)|Notting Hill]]'', a [[romantic comedy]] about a famous actress falling for a bookstore owner played by [[Hugh Grant]]. Her character, Anna Scott, was said to be closely modeled on Roberts herself. (When asked in one scene how much she was paid to appear in a movie, Scott replies "fifteen million dollars" — precisely the amount Roberts had received to appear in the film.)
===Relationships===
Roberts' has had numereous famous boyfriends, including [[Kiefer Sutherland]], [[Lyle Lovett]], [[Jason Patric]], [[Daniel Day-Lewis]], [[Matthew Perry (actor)|Matthew Perry]], [[Dylan Walsh]]. Roberts met [[Kiefer Sutherland]], her co-star in ''[[Flatliners]]'' from 1990. Sutherland left his wife and children and moved in with Roberts. In August [[1990]], Roberts and Sutherland announced their engagement, with a wedding of [[14 June]] [[1991]]. Roberts cancelled the wedding when she discovered Sutherland had had an affair with a stripper named Amanda Rice. Roberts went to [[Europe]] with [[Jason Patric]] after she and Sutherland broke up. Eventually, she married country singer [[Lyle Lovett]] after the couple had known each other for a few weeks.The wedding was planned on very short notice and was held in [[Marion, Indiana]]. Two years later, in March [[1995]], the couple announced that they were separating. This started a string of many, many handsome famous boyfriends and relationships.
For the Christmas '98 premiere of ''[[Stepmom]]'', Roberts appeared with television actor [[Benjamin Bratt]]. In late June [[2001]], Roberts and Bratt announced they were breaking up. "It's come to a kind and tender-hearted end," she said of their relationship. {{Fact|date=April 2007}} Roberts also briefly dated ''[[Friends]]'' star [[Matthew Perry (actor)|Matthew Perry]] and actor [[Daniel Day-Lewis]]. For a time, she lived with actor [[Liam Neeson]].
Roberts met her current husband, [[cinematographer]] Danny Moder, on the set of her movie ''[[The Mexican]]'' in 2000. He was already married to Vera Steinberg Moder when they began an affair. Vera was said to be devastated and did not want to lose her husband, however Julia was determined that Danny would divorce his wife and marry her. Julia even agreed to pay Vera $250,000.00 to agree to divorce Danny so he could be free to marry her. Julia wore a t-shirt with 'A low Vera' on it that summer as a sign of protest against Vera holding up the divorce proceedings. As soon as the divorce was official, Roberts and Moder were quickly married on [[Fourth of July]], [[2002]], at her ranch in [[Taos, New Mexico|Taos]], [[New Mexico]]. On [[November 28]], [[2004]], they became the parents of fraternal [[twin]]s, daughter Hazel Patricia and son Phinnaeus Walter, and they are expecting their third child and second boy in July 2007. Roberts bought a penthouse in [[Manhattan]]'s [[Gramercy Park]] neighborhood. She reportedly loves to shop anonymously, buying her own [[organic food|organic greens]] on weekends at the market in nearby [[Union Square (New York City)|Union Square]]. She and her family divide their time between their homes in [[New York City]], [[Malibu, California|Malibu]], [[California]], and their 50-[[acre]] retreat in Taos. {{Fact|date=April 2007}}
===Charities===
[[Image:JuliaRoberts12.JPG|left|thumb|Julia Roberts in a conference, 1990]]
Roberts has a production company called ''Red Om Films'' ("Moder" spelled backwards; formerly "Shoelace Productions") and has given of her time and resources to [[Unicef]] as well as to other charitable organizations."In the Spring of 1995, Roberts, 27, an enthusiastic supporter of UNICEF, asked if she could meet some of the relief agency's neediest recipients. And so, on May 10, she arrived in Port-au-Prince 'to educate myself.' The poverty she found was overwhelming. 'My heart is just bursting,' she said. Unicef officials hope her six-day visit will trigger an outburst of giving: $10 million in aid is still needed. Roberts herself had no need for journalists, whom she kept at arm's length. 'You in the orange shirt!' she snapped at one cameraman. 'Out!' She did turn on the charm for Haiti's President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, 42, who glowingly described Roberts as a 'Hollywood Haitian'. Asked by a reporter if she would consider making a movie in Haiti, Roberts replied, 'Certainly. Are you offering me a script?' No, but Aristide may have come up with a title."
In [[2000]], Julia narrated "Silent Angels", a documentary about [[Rett syndrome]], which was shot in Los Angeles, Baltimore and New York. The documentary is designed to help raise public awareness about the disease.
In July [[2006]], Earth Biofuels announced that Roberts became a spokeswoman for the company and will be chairman of the company’s newly formed Advisory Board promoting the use of renewable fuels such as biodiesel and ethanol.
