ROBERTS TO BE HONORED BY AMERICAN CINEMATHEQUE

Julia Roberts has been selected to receive the prestigious American Cinematheque award on Oct. 12 in ceremonies scheduled to be broadcast in December by AMC. The cinema arts organization which currently screens restored classic films in what was once the Grauman's Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood and the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica, said that Roberts was the unanimous choice of the selection committee. Last year, she presented the organization's award to George Clooney. In a statement, American Cinematheque's group chairman Rick Nicita said, "Julia Roberts is a true movie star who has delighted audiences and critics in so many pictures," including Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias and Erin Brockovich.
