Having Julia Roberts as your auntie would spark the desire of anyone to follow in her very successful footsteps and young Emma Roberts is doing exactly that.

Saying that her father Eric Roberts is successful in his own right being an Academy Award nominated actor so it's safe to say that acting runs in her blood and she proved this when she made her big screen debut in 2001.

Aged just nine she joined Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz in the role of Kristina Jung, daughter of Depp's real-life cocaine smuggler George Jung.

Over the next couple of years there were a string of small roles for young actress including bigLove, a ten minute short, and Grand Champion.

She became a household name in 2004 when she landed the lead role of Addie Singer in Unfabulous, a Nickelodeon television series.

The series followed Addie who writes songs about her experiences at junior high school and the show soon became one of the most watched shows in America and earning Roberts a Teen Choice Award nomination and several Young Artist Award nominations.

With the demonstration of singing ability in the show, like so many, Roberts dabbled with the music industry releasing a debut album Unfabulous and More: Emma Roberts before returning to the big screen in Aquamarine.
