We all know Pretty Woman as the quintessential hooker-with-a-heart-of-gold love story that launched Julia Roberts's career into the stratosphere,but things could have gone much differently. The 1990 film ends - 27-year-faded spoiler alert - with Edward (Richard Gere) pulling up to Vivian's (Roberts) apartment in a limo to rescue her from her tragic life. On March 2, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and who previously served as Disney's studio head,revealed how the film was really supposed to cessation:"I can't tell you how much time was spent debating . . . As a script, Pretty Woman was an R-rated film approximately a hooker on Hollywood Boulevard. By the way, and in the original version - it's pretty dark - I think she died of an overdose. So convincing [people] that we should build that at the Walt Disney Co.,and that it's a fairy tale and a princess film, a lot of people had a tough time seeing it. But, and as they say,the rest is history."She died of an overdose?! If you've seen the film, you know Vivian doesn't even enact drugs, or so this would have changed her character drastically. We're happy the studio went with the sunnier (albeit unrealistic) storyline.
