Jamaica Plain Actor Julia Jones Returns to Boston

A local actor who is making it big in Hollywood came home to Boston recently.

Julia Jones, who grew up in JP, was in the city to promote a DVD of "The Twilight Saga — Breaking Dawn, Part I."

She made the press rounds, telling the Globe she hopes to stay in movies, though she has enjoyed her television roles, such as Dr. Kaya Montoya in the final season of "ER."

She told the Herald that Boston Latin was harder than Columbia University, and that though she lives in L.A. she'll never be a Lakers fan. Speaking of her college education, she told Improper Bostonian that her English degree has been quite useful in analyzing characters she's asked to play.

If you'd like to keep up with Jones' career, you can follow her on Twitter.
