Her wide mouthed smile and long legs made Julia Roberts one of America’s most bankable stars.

Her face stripped of makeup and dressed in dowdy clothing, Julia was transformed as she filmed emotional scenes for August:Osage County in in Bartsville, Oklahoma.

Hysterical performance: The brunette delivered a tearful act

The screen star – who in real life has three children with cinematographer husband Daniel Moder – layered up with a white shirt over a cream top and teamed it with loose blue jeans.

Her long brunette locks weren’t glamorously styled at all to play Barbara Weston, a character in a family that overcomes certain differences when their alcoholic patriarch goes missing.

During the intense scene Ewan held Julia’s hand with great anticipation, as they walked down to a boat dock to identify a dead body by a Sheriff.

The actress appeared alongside Julianne Nicholson, who appeared to be pointing out something rather funny to the group.
