Actress Julia Roberts expresses grief over the demise of Myrtle
Julia Roberts, the iconic actress known for her roles in "Erin Brockovich" and "Pretty Woman," shared a poignant tribute to her cherished dog, Myrtle, who passed away at the age of 19. Myrtle had been by Roberts' side for 14 years, joining her family in 2006, two years after the birth of her twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus, and a year before the arrival of her youngest son, Henry Daniel[1][3].
Taking to Instagram, Roberts paid homage to Myrtle with a heartfelt caption, "Our Myrtle. A Legend. 2006-2025 👑." Julia's husbands, Danny Moder, echoed her sentiment, remembering Myrtle as "The definition of Fierce Loyalty, even if she bit the pizza man once," and endearingly addressing her as "Myrtle Von Mertzenberger." Fellow actress Jennifer Aniston and others sent condolences to the grieving star[5].
As Roberts' lifeless Myrtle leaves a void in her life, her career continues to thrive. She recently starred in the post-apocalyptic thriller "Leave The World Behind" on Netflix and is set to appear in the upcoming film "After the Hunt," directed by Luca Guadagnino[6]. In this gripping drama, Roberts plays a college professor confronting personal and professional dilemmas. When one of her colleagues is accused of misconduct by a student, a dark secret from Roberts' past comes to light[7]. The film also features Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg, Chloé Sevigny, Lío Mehiel, Thaddea Graham, Will Price, Christine Dye, and Burgess Byrd[7].
