Julia Roberts had a nice body back then! Oh, wait. It wasn’t her body...it was photoshop! LOL.
Any beautiful woman who is a prostitute has some real problems or she wouldn’t be resorting to that kind of life when she could have any man she wanted.
Oh, my! That book — “The Hollywood Cesspool”. I’d forgotten all about it. My dad had it in his study, and Bob Sumner preached at our summer camp when I was young, and at seminary when I was a student. (Same seminary he graduated from.)
my idiot mother in law gave a copy of this film to my pre teen girls. “it’s a love story!” No, it’s not.
Civilized society has called out actors as low lifes for centuries. Sure, society enjoys a good show but they don’t want their daughters running off with an actor.
When we saw that movie on HBO many years ago I warned my teen girls that nothing in the film was real. Hookers walking the streets do not look like Julia Roberts, and the lifestyle often leaves them drugged or dead.
So the original ending was more like how Hollyweird really treats actresses?
Guess that reinforces my view that The Little Mermaid was probably the last truly great Disney movie save for perhaps The Lion King, probably the last truly moral and clean one as well (no, Beauty and the Beast does not count since that movie actually promoted radical feminism and was woke before such was a thing, is the first movie to outright demonize marriage, and that was all thanks to Jeffrey Katzenberg listening to moronic critics who most likely never even saw The Little Mermaid).
