The 1990 hit movie “Pretty Woman” starring Richard Gere and Julia Roberts was not supposed to be the romantic comedy we all know it to be. The original script titled “$3000” was very dark. Julia's character Vivian was supposed to be a drug addict in addition to being a prostitute. During the week she spent in the hotel with Edward he wouldn't let her use so she suffered from withdrawal. Very different from the tub singing, shopper we saw in the release.

Plus, the original script was supposed to end with Edward driving Vivian back to her neighborhood giving her the $3000 cash and driving off. The closing scene was supposed to show Vivian on her knees in the gutter picking up the cash, after throwing it against his car window in disgust. Again, not the sweet happy ending we all saw. The movie was ultimately made by Touchstone, a subsidiary of Disney, so many changes we’re made to make it the movie we all know and love today.
