Roberts sounded happy about the later years of her career. She spoke with Closer Weekly in 2015 about the home she shared with her home Barry in Hollywood. Roberts told the publication it was, “like being in the country, but civilization isn’t far away when I need it… Barry said, ‘There’s no way that house can be for sale. I called the realtor, found out that it was in escrow, and the next day, she called to say the would-be owner used a check they wouldn’t accept — so I got it!”
