Julia Roberts had the time of her life when she starred in the 1990 movie titled Pretty Woman. Portraying the role of a pr*stitute who falls in love with Richard Gere’s lead character, the movie had to change its ending after Disney thought it was too dark.
With the movie originally being a cautionary tale against drugs and pr*stitution, the 1990 film quickly became a romantic comedy which became quite remarkable in the process. J.F. Lawton, the writer of the film finally revealed the truth behind the original ending in 2021 and it is as dark as it gets!
Julia Roberts’ Pretty Woman Had A Pretty Dark Ending
As is the tale of several Disney movies, Pretty Woman also had a dark ending that Disney urged writer J.F. Lawton to change so that the movie could get funding. Depicting the story of a client hiring a pr*stitute and her falling in love with him, the movie ends with a happy ending for audiences but it wasn’t the original ending planned.

However, this was merely an urban myth since the ending that writer J.F. Lawton had actually written was a pretty dark one too but involved less death and was more of a melancholic ending rather than a completely happy one.
