Julia Roberts is thankful to Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife Coretta

Julia Roberts revealed that the late Martin Luther King Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King were the ones who paid the hospital bill for her birth. They did so because her parents could not afford it.

In a conversation with Gayle King, the actress became friends with the Kings while living in Atlanta and running a theater school.

Referring to segregation in the 1960s, the Erin Brockovich star said:

“One day Coretta called my mother and asked if her kids could be part of the school because they were having a hard time finding a place that would accept her kids,”

“My mom was like, ‘Sure, come on over,’ and so they all just became friends, and they helped us out of a jam.”

Previously it was mentioned that a Ku Klux Klan member was responsible for a car blast outside one of Betty and Walter Roberts’ plays. It was due to King Jr’s daughter Yolanda being given a role where she had to kiss a white actor.

The famous journalist even thought that Julia’s parents’ decision was extraordinary because it was a rare thing for people to see little black children interact with little white kids in acting school during those days.

The Ticket to Paradise star recently celebrated her 55th birthday on Friday and shared a bubbly selfie of herself sipping a cup of coffee around pink-and-gold balloons.

She captioned the Insta photo:

“Feeling the love and magic on my ⚡️55th ⚡️ Birthday ! My cup runneth over ?,”

Talking about their future college life, the 55-year-old said:

“I mean, it makes me a little lightheaded. You say that, I mean, I’m completely excited for them,”
