The First Movies of Famous Actresses

Thousands upon millions come to Hollywood seeking to claim some of fame's glory and most start out like most people looking for gold: getting dirty and sifting through rocks. Or in this case going from casting call to casting call seeking the ideal part. Everyone gets a start somewhere and these are the roles of some of the top Hollywood actresses, the roles that started it all.

Julia Roberts - Satisfaction: Babs was the name of Julia Robert's role in the film Firehouse, however, she was not given official credit and perhaps she might not have wanted it. In 1988 she landed the role of Daryle in the film Satisfaction. The story for the film was a about a female rock band and after doing less than stellar at the box office the title of the film was altered to Girls Of Summer for its debut on television. The name change, it has been stated, was because Satisfaction sounded too sexual, or others say it was to fool people who had already seen it into watching it again.

Reese Witherspoon - The Man In The Moon: In 1991 Reese made her film presence known in the tragic love drama Man In the Moon. Playing 14 year old Dani Trant, a girl in love with her older sister's boyfriend, Reese was nominated for a Young Artist Award and though she didn't I'd say she deserved a win. The movie ends on a very sad note, however, Witherspoon's career became all the more sweeter.

Glenn Close - The World According to Garp: Skipping through a series of television projects, Glenn Close made her movie debut opposite Robin Williams in the 1982 film The World According to Garp. Close played the role of William's, or Garp's mother Jenny Fields, though she wasn't much older than Williams at the time.

Nicole Kidman - BMX Bandits: Kidman was landing television movie roles before 1983's BMX Bandits, however her role as Judy is what we're counting as her first film credit. Judy of course was the friend of two expert bike riders who get entangled in a bank robbery scheme.
