CNN —A previously little known fact about Julia Roberts is now more widely known, thanks to social media. Roberts explained that Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, took care of the hospital expenses since her parents couldn’t pay the bill. “My parents had a theater school in Atlanta called the Actors and Writers’ Workshop,” Roberts said. That led to the Kings paying for the birth of the woman who would go on to become an international star. “They helped us out of a jam,” Julia Roberts said.
