JULIA ROBERTS SPENT TIME WITH PROSTITUTES TO PREPARE FOR PRETTY WOMAN: Julia Roberts spent time with prostitutes on Hollywood Boulevard to prepare for her role in Pretty Woman, according to Barbara Marshall, the widow of the film’s director, Garry Marshall. Barbara used to work at a free clinic, and Garry asked her if she would help set Julia up to talk to some of her patients. “I recruited two young women who came to the clinic regularly, and I paid them $35 each to meet with Julia,” Barbara said. “I went back to work, and about 20 minutes later, Julia yelled from the end of the hall, ‘Bye, Barbara. We’re going to take a drive. We’ll be back later.’” Barbara tells Page Six that Roberts “is one tough lady who can take care of herself on and off camera.” (Page Six)
