“She rescues him proper again.”
On March 23, 1990, Disney launched a bit of rom-com starring an up-and-coming actress a couple of businessman and a prostitute who fall in love after he pays her 1000’s of {dollars} to spend the week with him. Not the same old stuff fairy tales are fabricated from…however Fairly Girl wasn’t your common romantic comedy.
Directed by Garry Marshall, the Hollywood legend who handed away in 2016, and starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, who turns 73 on Aug. 31, nobody anticipated Fairly Girl to turn into a success, not to mention turn into one among 1990’s most profitable movies and one among film historical past’s most enduring love tales.
Made for simply $17 million, the story of Edward Lewis (Gere) and Vivian Ward (Roberts) went on to gross over $460 million worldwide, earn 4 Golden Globe nominations and made Roberts one among Hollywood’s greatest stars.
However do you know Roberts virtually wasn’t forged within the iconic roles and several other different A-list actresses virtually stepped into Vivian’s thigh-high boots? How about that the unique script was a lot darker and would’ve made Walt Disney blush?
