The youngest of three daughters, Julianna Margulies was born in Spring Valley, New York. Her father, Paul Margulies, was a writer, philosopher, and Madison Avenue advertising executive. Her mother, Francesca (originally Goldberg, subsequently Gardner), was a ballet dancer and eurythmy teacher.
Her parents were both Jewish, with roots in Romania, Austria, Hungary, and Russia as Ashkenazi Jews. She was only a year old, though, when they were divorced.
Margulies described her parents’ dedication to anthroposophy in her autobiography, “Sunshine Girl,” despite not herself adhering to the theory. She doesn’t practice any religion, yet she identifies as Jewish and instills Jewish traditions in her kid.
She spoke on the importance of gratitude in her life in an interview from 2013 and drew inspiration from the Jewish custom of celebrating Shabbat, or the start of the weekend, with family on Friday nights.
In her memoir, Margulies described her difficult upbringing and restless upbringing. She was born in New York, although she and her mother regularly moved to several nations and states, including Sussex, England, and Paris, France.
French consequently became her native tongue, albeit she has since lost her fluency in it. Margulies’ childhood was portrayed in her novel as loving but unpredictable and unstable. She talked about a lot of emotionally upsetting childhood memories.
