What are some common misconceptions about Julia Roberts?

The most common misconception about Julia Roberts is that she has impeccable, tall, flawless legs. In fact, she has great legs, she is tall no doubt, charming and beautiful, but the endless, perfect legs she appeared to have in Pretty Woman were not really hers. Instead, they belonged to a body double, a gorgeous model, who has lent her legs to many Hollywood movie stars, including Julia Roberts and Demi Moore, Allegedly, when this girl – named Shelley Michelle – wanted to have her own career as an actress many Hollywood movie stars were NOT AT ALL happy, as they wanted her to simply dub their own less than perfect legs.

Next, Julia Roberts’ husband was married to another woman when he met Julia , who did not want to sign the divorce papers. Julia ended up wearing a t-shirt which portrayed “A low Vera” (instead of aloe vera). which was the name of her husband’s ex-wife. The pun was intended of course. So, Angelina Jolie is not the first homewrecker in Hollywood. In addition, many people forget that Julia was previously married to country singer Lyle Lovett.

Furthermore, Julia Roberts was NOT the first choice for the role of Vivien in Pretty Woman, neither was Richard Gere for Edward. Michelle Pfeiffer and Al Pacino were considered for the leading roles instead, among other actors, but they both turned down the roles. Also, the film Pretty Womanwas at first supposed to be a drama, not a sentimental comedy with the title Three Thousand, since that is how much a night cost with Julia’s character.

Last but not least, though obviously talented, Julia Roberts didn’t deserve her Oscar for her role in Erin Brockovich, whom she ‘’forgot’’ to mention in her thank you speech at the Oscars. However, she sent Ms. Brockovich a huge basket with flowers, fruit and champagne the following day. As good as Julia was then, Ellen Burstyn’s performance in Requiem for A Dream was just breathtaking. Burstyn was robbed.
