Still, Roberts has the success of Pretty Woman to thank, along with a fellow household name as equally familiar with playing quintessential Hollywood characters— '80s Brat Pack icon Molly Ringwald.
Many years later, Ringwald further explained what turned her off from starring in the Garry Marshall rom-com. She admitted to The Guardian in 2023, "Julia Roberts was wonderful in it, but I didn't really like the story. Even then, I felt like there was something icky about it." In the same article, the When It Happens to You author went into detail about the heavy weight of being a teen idol while having an inescapable girl-next-door image. "I needed to get out from under all that scrutiny. I just wasn't cut out for it in a way that certain other people are. Some people are really good at it. Taylor Swift is amazing! But I didn't feel comfortable with that level of stardom," she stated.
