8. Darryl Hannah: Vivian in Pretty Woman
In subsequent years, Hannah has been asked many times whether she regrets her decision, but she insists that she’s glad she didn’t make the movie because she was unhappy with the tone of the script.
The actress has said that she thinks the movie is degrading towards women, and she wasn’t the only one who thought so.
Both Meg Ryan and Michelle Pfeiffer also turned down the role for similar reasons. This may be due to the fact the film was originally intended to be a dark tale depicting the harsh realities of prostitution in America.
It was rewritten as a romantic comedy in what was possibly one of the greatest rethinks in Hollywood history. “Pretty Woman” is one of the most successful films of all time and has grossed more than $460 million to date.

This is all the more impressive when considering that it was created on a budget of $14 million. The movie catapulted Julia Roberts to stardom and helped her on her journey to becoming America’s Sweetheart. The film also featured a hugely successful soundtrack that included songs from some of the biggest artists at that time.
