She was chosen because she's an excellent actress, and, she's VERY pretty:turbo-1 said:Can anybody explain why Julia Roberts was chosen to star in "Pretty Woman"? When she married Lyle Lovett, people were gabbing about why such a "pretty" woman would marry such a homely guy. I couldn't see it. Physically, they were a good match, though if Lovett's songs are any indication, she was badly out-classed in that match-up.

What's most appealing about her, though, is not always apparent in still photos. Her way of shifting from a neutral mood into a sudden, unexpected, vivacious laugh is remarkably sexy. She does this in most of her films at one point or another, and the impression it gives is of a woman who can be tickled very easily and thoroughly without much provocation (sexual connotations intended).
In my mind the Lovetts/Roberts thing wasn't about relativity of looks at all. It was a tickler/ticklee match up. I can see him sitting there all day sending her into laughter and giggle fits with his wry, dry, dead pan humor.
