Julia Roberts with Lucia Earrings on set of Eat Love Pray
Hoping to strike box office gold, Julia Roberts has taken on the best-selling memoir by Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love and has wrapped up the New York City scenes.
In the film, she plays Elizabeth on an around the world journey of finding balance and searching for ‘everything’ across Italy, India, and Indonesia. At 32 years old, Gilbert was educated, had a home and a husband, and successful career as a writer. However, she was depressed with her marriage, and often spending the night crying on her bathroom floor. This memoir chronicles the author’s trip and what she discovers during her travels.
As of February 2010, the book had remained on the New York Times Best Seller list for 158 weeks.
Fun Fact: In the film, Julia Roberts can be seen wearing Alex Woo’s Lucia earrings in several scenes. Annette Bening wore the sparkly diamond Lucia pendant in the film The Women.
