There are some movies that will forever go down in history as pretty darn epic, and the rom-com Pretty Woman is one of them. However, that isn’t just because we’re obsessed with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. Okay, maybe it is a little bit! After debuting onto the silver screen in 1990, Pretty Woman immediately won over film fanatics from across the world with its risque storyline of love, lust, and romance, with a little bit of comedy thrust in the middle. It was an absolute hit. This movie follows the life of Vivian Ward, a lady of the night with really, really tall boots who is hired by a big-shot businessman to accompany him to various events over the course of one whole week.
Yes, that’s a week of pancakes and parties, so of course, she accepts his offer. However, things start to take a slightly different turn when both Vivian and Edward realize that their agreement might have a little more to it than a wad of cash at the end of the week and a pretty woman on his arm. It’s a classic love story that has broken boundaries and brought Julia Roberts to the forefront of our attention – so for that, we thank you! If you count yourself a Pretty Woman fan, or whether you just want to brush up on your knowledge, here are the things you probably never knew about Pretty Woman.

Nowadays, it seems silly to think of anyone other Julia Roberts taking the role of the call girl. After all, who else could pull off those hoops and those boots? Nevertheless, it seems as though Julia Roberts wasn’t actually the first choice to play Vivian. The part was initially offered to the Brat Pack legend, Molly Ringwald. After Ringwald rose to fame in teen movies such as The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink and more, Molly was supposedly the perfect candidate. Thankfully for us, she turned the offer down after she read the script and read what the story was about.
