At the age of 19, she dated her Satisfaction (ace film by the way, if you haven't ever watched it, watch it like your a 17 year old girl and you'll love it!!) co-star Liam Neeson (who was in his 30s), then she moved on to her Steel Magnolias husband Dylan McDermott(love the McDermott - they were briefly engaged). In 1991 she became a real-life runaway bride when she dumped Kiefer Sutherland at the altar and took up with his pal Jason Patric. Two years later, she married country crooner Lyle Lovett, but by 1995, they'd split. Next came a brief fling with Matthew Perry (she even guest-starred on Friends). Then came her serious relationship with Law & Order's Benjamin Bratt. They dated for three years, and she reportedly broke his heart when they split in 2001.
I, like many others, loved this book and am looking forward to the film. Here's the trailer, its not really working for me, so hopefully the film does.
This is inspired by a viewing last weekend. I tried so hard not to watch it. I've seen it so many times it's not funny, so definitely didn't need to watch it. Maybe I could just watch the start and then I'll watch something else. Of course I couldn't stop. I am talking about the masterpiece that is PRETTY WOMAN. The funny thing is that next time it's on, I'll do exactly the same thing!
We'd already loved her in SATISFACTION, MYSTIC PIZZA and STEEL MAGNOLIAS, but this is where we fell in love with Julia Roberts. She makes it totally believable and fun to be a hooker. Did I want to grow up and be one? maybe, if I got to go and stay in the penthouse apartment with Richard Gere and watch 'I love lucy'! Cool!
We sang along to Roy Orbison's 'Pretty Woman' and were introduced to songs by Go West and 'it must have been love' by Roxette.
And this film has some of my fave lines from a film ever, and some that are used in my everyday language!
Remember Julia singing in the bath with her yellow sony walkman (yes I had one exactly the same) Julia: Don't you just love Prince? Richard: More than life itself!
And these classics:
Vivian: Tell me one person who it's worked out for. Kit: What, you want me to name someone? You want like a name? Oh, God, the pressure of a name... I got it. Cindafuckin'rella
Vivian: Let's watch old movies all night... we'll just veg out in front of the TV. Edward Lewis: Veg out? Vivian: Yeah. Be still like vegetables. Lay like broccoli.
Vivian: i want more Edward: how much more? Vivian: I want the fairytale.
Vivian: It's a really good offer for a girl like me!
And my very fave:
Vivian: We think you got a lot of potential Kit De Luca!
I just read an interview with Julia Roberts who explained to me that she absolutely adores Johnny Depp, known him for ages and would love to do movie with him, all fair enough, wish it was me! The bit that got me, she thinks they look alike and should play a brother and sister in a movie someday? Is anyone else seeing this, 'cos I'm not! (this post is really just a good excuse for a johnny photo)
Loved the book, how will it look as a film! Well considering it stars Julia Roberts, Billy Crudup, James Franco and Javire Bardem, I would say pretty darned hot really!
