Of course, Pretty Woman wound up being the film that cemented Roberts’s status in Hollywood, as she earned a second consecutive Oscar nomination and, more importantly, Pretty Woman became a huge hit, spending four months in the Top 10 of the U.S. box office. During that run, we spoke to Roberts, who admitted that she was a little surprised by the movie’s success, because so much of it was made up as they went along.
