Well now this paragraph in the New Georgia Encyclopedia’s entry for Julia Roberts is sorta interesting for more than one reason…

In 1957 [Roberts' parents] left the air force, and Walter enrolled at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. In 1960 the family moved to Decatur, Georgia, where Walter began working with Atlanta’s Academy Theater and the Harrington Scenic and Lighting Studio. In 1964 Walter and Betty Lou began production on a local Saturday morning children’s television show called Bum Bum and His Buddies, which they financed themselves. Later that year they founded the Actors and Writers Workshop, which ran for six years. During this time they had two more children—Lelisa (called Lisa) Billingsley in 1965 and Julia (called Julie) in 1967.

Anyone know where in Decatur the Roberts family lived way back in the 60s?
