Pretty Woman/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Deleted Scene: The 15th anniversary DVD re-inserts them back in the film while replacing existing sequences, with no option for the theatrical cut. This can be especially jarring for long-time viewers of the movie, especially since the jewel case gives no indication that the film has altered.
  • Executive Meddling: Of the profitable variety. [context?]
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Edward's lawyer is George Costanza.
  • Non-stunt Double: Shelley Michelle for Julia Roberts in both the opening sequence where Vivian is putting on her boots, and in all promotional materials. That image of the poster on the main page? Everything below Julia Roberts' chin is actually Shelley Michelle.
  • Star-Making Role: For Julia Roberts.
  • Throw It In: The scene where he shuts the jewelry box on her hand was originally just an on-set practical joke. But they thought her reaction was better than just having her gently touch the necklace as intended.
  • What Could Have Been: Was originally designed to be a dark comedy, with Richard Gere's character abandoning Vivian, Viv being a cocaine addict, and she and her roommate leaving for Disneyland at the ending.
