Julia Roberts just joined Jane Fonda’s Committee for the First Amendment — signing on to appear at the Rise Up Sing Out concert in New York City alongside Bette Midler and Patti Smith in a star-studded stand for freedoms that the organizers say are under direct threat right now.

At 58 Julia Roberts is not staying quiet, not staying home and not staying out of anything that matters to her. That smile still stops the whole room — and apparently so does everything else about her.
