ultimate chick
flick is 20 years old
It’s been 20 years since a 22-year-old
Julia Roberts pulled on that blonde wig
and over-the-knee boots and put The
Regent Beverly Wilshire on the map
in Pretty Woman.
And for those of us who don’t have
the DVD (a ridiculous prospect, clearly),
Cineworld Cinemas are screening
a restored version on 14 February on
70 screens around the country.
The original rags-to-riches fairytale
grossed nearly £300m worldwide and
had all of the ingredients for success:
handsome prince, damsel in distress,
comedy baddy and ugly sisters (well, the
evil shop assistants on Rodeo Drive).
Vivian made it OK to have a dream, to
sing Prince in the bath, to not know which
fork to start with in a fancy restaurant…
Pretty Woman director Garry Marshall
has also marked the film’s anniversary

THAT OUTFIT…
with a new film starring Julia Roberts. His
latest movie Valentine’s Day also stars
Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba and
Jamie Foxx as well as Héctor Elizondo
(Barney Thompson – Pretty Woman’s
hotel
manager)
and a
cameo
from Larry
Miller
(Rodeo
Drive’s Mr
Hollister).
In a recent interview, Julia said she
“loved” working with Marshall again and
that she “owed him her entire career.”
In homage, Marshall has Julia Roberts’
Valentine’s Day character, Kate, end
the film with the immortal line: “Big
mistake… Huge.” Which, as all die-hard
fans know is a classic Pretty Woman line.
Our excitement raised, Stylist was
disappointed to learn there will be no
sequel, as Roberts so politely put it,
“nobody wants to see an old hooker!”.

X “I appreciate this whole
seduction thing you’ve got
going on here, but let me give
you a tip: I’m a sure thing.”
X “Man, this baby must corner
like it’s on rails!”
X “Well, colour me happy! There’s
a sofa in here for two!”
X “Yeah. Be still like vegetables.
Lay like broccoli.”

$75, the wife can watch.”
