Julia Roberts talks about why she decided to jump into TV with Amazon's 'Homecoming', and the challenges
When it comes to Julia Roberts' first major foray into series television, after a nearly three-decade-long blockbuster streak working in film, the Academy Award-winner says there was little adjustment required. “I didn't really think of it as ‘small screen’ versus ‘big screen’ – my television is very big,” she joked during a panel conversation while promoting the upcoming Amazon Studios series 'Homecoming' at the Television Critics Association’s summer press tour in Beverly Hills on July 28.
Roberts, whose hair was a rare honey-blonde, then flashed her famed megawatt smile when her quip inspired a ripple of applause inside the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. “I got the critics to clap! They said you guys wouldn’t clap for anything! I'm so happy!” she said.
