It?s a girl ? and a boy ? for actor Julia Roberts and her husband, cinematographer Danny Moder. Roberts gave birth to twins Hazel Patricia and Phinnaeus Walter at 1100 GMT in a Los Angeles hospital on Sunday, publicist Marcy Engelman said.

Engelman said that ?mother and babies are doing great,? but didn?t release the twins? weights or other details.

Roberts, who won an Oscar for her role in Erin Brockovich (2000), married Moder, 35, in 2002, at her ranch in Taos, New Mexico.

The two had been splitting their time between homes in Taos, New York and Los Angeles. The actor was hospitalised late last month after experiencing early contractions. Doctors advised her to remain on bed rest until she gave birth.

Roberts, who has starred in scores of films including Pretty Woman (1990) and My Best Friend?s Wedding (1997), will appear in two films opening next month: Ocean?s Twelve, with George Clooney and Brad Pitt, and Closer, directed by Mike Nichols. (Reuters)
