Erin Brockovich is one of Hollywood’s most timeless films, with Julia Roberts delivering an Oscar-winning performance as the single mom who took on PG&E over water contamination. Few know that the real Erin and her lawyer Ed Masry both made cameos, or that Roberts earned a record-breaking $20 million for the role. While the movie dramatized some details, Erin has said it was “98–99% accurate.” Today, she remains a powerful advocate for environmental justice, proving her story goes far beyond the screen.
