Universal Pictures must have felt lucky they had this talented actress there to save the movie.Įdward Zwick ended his letter by saying he has no hard feelings for Julia Roberts and understood the stress she was going through during the time of casting. All of this newfound attention even caused her to hide out at her parents’ house for weeks after her win. This movie did wonders for the American actress who took on more successful roles in The Talented Mr. Luckily, Gwyneth Paltrow was able to replace Roberts and won the Academy Award for Best Actress that year. The timing of it all couldn’t have been more terrible for Universal as they already spent $6 million on the project with sets being built, costumes being made, and locations being arranged. It sounds like Julia Roberts was no longer vibing with any prospective male leads or the project in general. The next morning when I called her room, I was told she had checked out. But I would never get to talk her off the ledge. Having only recently been catapulted to the dizzying heights atop the Hollywood food chain, she must have been terrified to fail. Sensing Julia’s discomfort, I tried to be encouraging, but she must have intuited my unease, and I made the tragic mistake of underestimating her insecurity. From the moment she began to speak it was clear she hadn’t been working on the accent. But once she began to say the words, something was wrong. On the morning of the test, Julia emerged from makeup, looking radiant in full period costume. According to Zwick, the then-24-year-old was “obsessed” with working with this English actor to the point where she asked her assistant to send him two dozen roses with a card that read “Be my Romeo.” But the My Left Foot actor wasn’t able to take on the project due to his commitment to the biographical crime drama In the Name of the Father. But if I can think of why the Pretty Woman star couldn’t find chemistry with Ralph Fiennes, it could be out of disappointment in not being able to work with Daniel Day-Lewis. With Julia Roberts being one of the biggest stars of the ‘90s, Universal Pictures only agreed to work on Shakespeare in Love if Roberts was headlining it. After he was gone, I turned to Julia, awaiting her reaction. I tried to catch Ralph’s eye to apologize as he left but he couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I’m not suggesting she was deliberately sabotaging, but it was a disaster nonetheless. According to Variety, producer Edward Zwick wrote a first-person essay for Air Mail about the frustrating experience he had when Roberts failed to find chemistry with the film’s male lead, Ralph Fiennes.Įven as Ralph did his best to elicit the famous smile, Julia barely acknowledged him. Shakespeare in Love could have been next on her list if only she was able to find chemistry with her potential male leads.
