Daryl Hannah Attacks 'Pretty Woman'

Julia Roberts

“One of the things I’m most proud of is refusing to take Julia’s role. Every time I see it I like it less and less. They sold it as a romantic fairytale when in fact it’s a story about a prostitute who becomes a lady by being kept by a rich and powerful man.

“I think that film is degrading for the whole of womankind.”

--Daryl Hannah commenting on Julia Roberts role in “Pretty Woman.”


I think she's just bitter cause Julia's an A-list actress now and the only thing Daryl Hannah is remembered for is being a mermaid in 'Splash.' What do you guys think??

although i agree that she might be a bit bitter you have to admit when you think about it that movie was very degrading towards women. oh the rich guy is gonna come save the hooker and she couldnt be saved on her own?

let's not read into the movie too much. it's just a fun romantic movie and i a lot of people like it! let's quit it with the degrading towards women pish tosh.

Hmm so playing a stoned-out stripper in *Dancing at the Blue Iguana* wasn't degrading, right? Oh wait, that's ART lol

Darryl is right -- that movie is cheesy and degrading. But it's a true story...right?!?

it was just a cute movie that she WISHES she had done!! i mean look at her role in kill bill, she's just hoping that by doing what bill tells her she'll get boned. whatever, another tinsel town hypocrite

Okay, one question: If she hates the movie so much, why does she watch it over and over? She said, "every time I see it." I've seen the movie like 3 times in my life. Apparently, Hannah is obsessed. Also, "granny" has a great point. If she's really concerned about the degredation of women, then what the hell was she thinking in Clan of the Cave Bear? Give me a break.

That movie is so old. Why's she bringing it back like it was yesterday? I liked it. Period.

I agree with Hannah. Never liked 'Pretty Woman', always thought it a strange moral-swamp remake of 'My Fair Lady.' How weird is it to glamorize prostitution? Since when is Julia still an A-lister? Yeah coz 'Mona Lisa Smile' was such a... um... commercially and critically acclaimed movie (gaffaw, snort!)

Pretty Woman is the dumbest movie I have EVER seen. She is a hooker, he is a guy that picks up a hooker. Who ever decided that whould be a great idea for a romantic movie should be shot.
Posted by: Jeane on 02/28/2007 02:19 AM



She's right though.
Posted by: loulou on 02/28/2007 04:08 AM



Don't forget she was in Kill Bill also! But whatever she's a hag!

HI UGLY GIRLS

I don't understand when she says..'every time I see the movie I like it less'. Why does she keep on watching it then?? Weird stuff......
Posted by: Carla on 11/20/2007 06:34 AM



daryl has integrity and puts her money where her mouth is. if people can't see the difference in reasoning between her not doing "pretty" and doing "iguana" then they should apply for a brain installation as they need it. monkey says as monkey is.... and for the record - daryl has a "thing" about sexual exploitation of women. a "thing" we all should have. if she watches the film now and then i suspect that it might be as she loathes what it stands for as hollywood is about exploitation of women. and of course it was a well made film that a lonely woman like daryl might like to watch as ultimately it is all about love. give daryl her due; she puts more into society for our good than any of us here who are only small talk.... xo !
