Gari Marshall's movie in 1990 "Beautiful Woman" It was a monstrous success when it was first released. Made for a modest $ 14 million, it has earned over $ 463 million to the global treasurer and further pushing Starvers Iaulia Roberts into the mainstream in Hollywood. Indeed, she received her second nomination for the Academy Award for her role as Vivian, the sex worker with a gold heart. Roberts and her co-Starvaza, Richard Gere, shared a sparkling chemistry that Hollywood often tries to replicate, but rarely succeed.

As a short reminder: The story of "Beautiful Woman", distant inspired by Alexander Dumas's book "Lady of Camelia", follows Hollywood sex worker Vivian because she is engaged by the frivolous and incredibly rich Edward (Gere). After a night of passion, Edward has hired him all week, insisting he join him for resolution activities like Polo Games and Opera. They even see Verdi's "La Travia", which is also inspired by Camelias. On the way, the two are in charge, though their feelings are complicated by Edward's wealth and its occupation. Is their Loveube clean if Vivian was engaged in sex? Is Edward the white knight he always dreamed of? Or just another Johnon?

Part of the "beautiful woman" is so often praised because the two waters are perfectly playing the IFFY material. Critics often describe how pleasant and glittering Gere and Roberts are, convincing the audience that this is a bubble romance and is not an analysis of the reality of sex work. (For this, look at "Anora".) These days, it's hard to imagine someone else in their roles.

Gere, however, was not the original choice for Edward. Director Marshall also audited several other striking hopes, including Christopher Reeve, who was fresh at the time. Reeve wrote about his audition "Beautiful Woman" in His autobiography "Still I", Noticing how much he hates experience. More specifically, he hated that he did not audition with Roberts. Instead, he had to read with unprofessional and angered it.

Roberts, of course, was already thrown when Marshall went in search of his co-Starvala. It seems very qualified, talented leading men have tried the part, including Daniel Day-Luis, Kevin Clin and Denzel Washington. Al Pacino even said, as early as 2017That he had read about Edward with Roberts in the room with him, but he still refused. Edward seems not to be a coveted role, as it was rejected by a number of high -profile actors, Sylvester Stallone and Bart Reynolds, Sam Neil and Charles Grodin.

Reeve came out of his own audition when he felt that Marshall was not very professional. Reeve took his craft seriously and wanted to test his chemistry with Roberts, with whom he knew (potentially) he would act. But when he arrived, Roberts was nowhere, and Reeve was paired with The deceased, great Diane Cretenendirector of casting of the film. Cratenen may have had a fruitful and glorious career, but she was not much of an actor, at least not according to Reeve. Reeve did not want to have unprofessional action opposite him and exploded in Marshall on the way out. As he said:

"I had to play the scenes with the casting director who kept my nose buried on the pages and read about, as well as rejection by a community theater. Halfway through the second scene, anger, frustration and humiliation are better than me. I tore them in the pages, they did not miss them, Way, and I missed this time, and I missed this time, and I missed this time, and I fired it. "

Reeve went to other things, and eventually Erea got his part. In strange coincidence, Ereere also landed two more important roles that Reeve rejected as Reeve had previously audited For "American Gigolo" in 1980 and for "Officer and Mr." in 1982. Maybe Ereere, of the awkward species, was looking.
