New fun facts emerge on the movie
Fun fact #1 -- Roberts Had One Condition Before Filming
According to People Magazine , Julia Roberts made the firm decision that she would no be doing any nude scenes.
Obviously, a movie about an escort would come with some X rated scenes, but Roberts made her bottom line extremely clear -- she not be doing any naked scenes (as she was only 20 years old).
Fun fact #2 -- That Necklace Screen Was Unscripted
For all those who loved this movie, you would be remiss not to acknowledge this bit of cinematic excellence.
One of the movie's most memorable scenes is Edward presenting a necklace to Vivian. He snaps the case shut as she goes to touch the luxurious item, startling Vivian for half a second before she bursts into laughter.
The moment wasn't in the script - though it was orchestrated by Garry to keep his leading lady on her toes - and Roberts' full laugh was genuine, providing an authentically light moment for Edward and Vivian before they head out for a night together at the opera.
