WHEN DID JULIA ROBERTS FIRST REALIZE SHE WAS FAMOUS? JULIA ROBERTS DID A LOW-BUDGET FILM CALLED MYSTIC PIZZA IN 1988. HER SALARY FOR THE FILM WAS $50,000. ONE DAY, STILL AN UNKNOWN, THE YOUNG ACTRESS WENT TO THE MOVIES WITH HER MOTHER. JULIA WENT INTO THE LADIES ROOM AND SOMEONE SAID, IN A VERY LOUD VOICE, "GIRL IN STALL NUMBER ONE, WERE YOU IN MYSTIC PIZZA?"
JULIA SAID, "YEAH, THAT WAS ME." JULIA LATER BECAME THE FIRST WOMAN TO BE PAID $20 MILLION FOR DOING A FILM. IT WAS FOR 2002's ERIN BROCKOVICH.
ONE OTHER THING: MYSTIC PIZZA IS, IN MY OPINION, THE BEST ACTING PERFORMANCE OF HER ENTIRE CAREER.
I'm currently watching War Games for the first time and came across you in the movie. I was like, "That sounds like Mandark!" Lo and behold, you do the voice of Mandark. That is awesome.
