Hollywood favorite Julia Roberts will retire from acting following her performance next year on Broadway.

The star of 'Pretty Woman' reportedly wants to spend all of her time with baby twins Phinneus and Hazel as they grow up.

'Juila is done with Hollywood and starring in a Broadway play is the perfect chance to make a graceful exit,' a close friend was quoted as saying.'

'She's been talking about leaving Los Angeles and stopping the movie roles ever since the twins were born last November.'

'She wants a change of scenery, a change of pace and a new challenge.'

You're one inch over - I'm five-ten. (However, I often fudge the two and make myself a six-footer.)

It has more to do with the fact that she can't demand $20 million per movie any more, and even her ensemble movies are tanking.
She would be lucky to be offered another lead role.

I hope it isn't one of those Barbara Streisand type retirements else this will just be her first of countless retirements.

Isn't Cher still retiring after all these years.....

Hollywood has a distinct lack of originality, both in the plots of movies they choose to make as well as who they chose to cast. I think she would be very likely to be offered another leading role, although probably not for $20 million.

I know a lot of people think she's beautiful, but I'll never understand how she got her second job.

Well, she used to be able to get the younger females to the theatre. Now Reese Witherspoon does that.
