Answer: Prostitute

"Pretty Woman" is a romantic comedy from 1990 starring Roberts and Richard Gere. Gere plays Edward, a rich successful businessman and Julia is Vivian, the prostitute he hires for a week. The movie has a Pygmalion theme with Edward buying her an expensive wardrobe and introducing her to high society; then comes the fairy tale, 'happily-ever-after' ending.

The original concept was very different - it was intended to be a dark drama about the life of sex workers and it portrayed Vivian as a drug addict with few endearing features.

The movie also took months to cast as Disney did not want Roberts for the part but after everyone else they considered turned the role down it eventually went to her. She also convinced Gere to take the male role. The movie was a box office sensation and made Roberts a star and the queen of the romantic comedy genre.
