“She rescues him proper again.”
On March 23, 1990, Disney launched a little bit rom-com starring an up-and-coming actress a couple of businessman and a prostitute who fall in love after he pays her hundreds 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 out to be successful, not to mention turn out to be one in all 1990’s most profitable movies and one in all 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 in all Hollywood’s largest stars.
However do you know Roberts nearly wasn’t solid within the iconic roles and a number of other different A-list actresses nearly stepped into Vivian’s thigh-high boots? How about that the unique script was a lot darker and would’ve made Walt Disney blush?
