With the photos, she apparently wants to show that appearance and being is not always the same in social networks: After two hours of styling, she can look like that, writes Barrymore. Even after a strenuous workout, they feel nice. That is hard work.

"What I can not hide is that some days are difficult and not so nice," the actress continues. She knew that she was lucky because her problems were solvable. She was very grateful for that. But sometimes you could just take life "for a minute." For too long Barrymore does not want to be influenced by such situations but apparently: "We cry and then get back up and put one foot in front of the other."
The turning point of the week ...
... said Julia Roberts. The "Hollywood Reporter" told the actress, when exactly she realized that she is prominent. In 1988, the movie "Pizza Pizza" appeared in which Roberts starred. A little later she was approached on a cinema toilet by a woman in another cabin, whether she was "the girl from the movie". Roberts said yes - and promptly asked for an autograph. "Not now," she answered.
"Not now"
In the US there is hardly anyone who is not familiar with actress Julia Roberts.
Currently, the 51-year-old can be seen in the US cinemas with the movie drama "Ben Is Back". In it she plays the mother of a drug addicted teenager. In the role of Holly, Roberts picks up the son played by Lucas Hedges, but soon realizes that his addiction could destroy his family.

... and as Anna Scott in "Notting Hill".
Roberts once worked as a model and in a shoe store - and was there addressed to her talent.
It was followed by a role in "Pizza Pizza - A piece of heaven". And from then on, her career went steeply uphill: so much so that she was even addressed shortly after the release of the film even in a toilet when she was with her mother in the cinema.
"After the movie was over, a woman in the washrooms said, 'Hey girls out of booth one, were you in Pizza Pizza?'" Roberts told the Hollywood Reporter about the incident. At the time, the fan had asked her for an autograph at the place and place. "Not now," she replied.
From then on, she said, she knew that something had changed with the 1988 movie.
