Actress Julia Roberts spent time with prostitutes who were paid $35 each to talk to her before filming “Pretty Woman”.
Barbara Marshall, a former nurse and the widow of the movie’s director, Garry Marshall, has opened up on how she was volunteering at a free clinic here in 1989 when she got a call from her spouse, reports New York Post newspaper’s Page Six column.
She said: “Garry would never visit me at the clinic because he was a hypochondriac and afraid of getting a disease. But he asked if Julia could come and talk to some of the patients.”

“I recruited two young women who came to the clinic regularly, and I paid them $35 each to meet with Julia. 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.'”
