A lot of old time actors turned down lots and lots of roles that would have made their career huge. I don't know if it was laziness oflr they just had a different mindset, but how does and actor like Reynolds accept Cop and a Half, yet then turn down Pretty Woman.
Picking scripts is a tough task.
It’s like picking the winner of a basketball game after the opening tip. There’s some background that can key you into what is better than others, but at the end of the day anything can happen between then and the buzzer to change the final result.

That's an interesting comment because most of his later appearances that I saw were uncomfortable to the point of cringe.
Interviews with people blasted out of their minds on painkillers usually aren't very smooth

he turned down a different petty woman
“It really read like a dark, gritty art movie." Roberts remembered reading the original ending in the script, where a man tosses her character Vivian Ward out of the car, "threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away leaving her in some dirty alley."\
Pretty Woman is one of the most recognizable romantic films to come out of Hollywood in the 1990s, and Roberts' role in the film is undeniably iconic. The film was originally meant to be, however, a much darker, albeit realistic movie that represented the harsh world of sex work.

ETA he can act like missing out on those iconic roles/paydays don’t bother him but he retired from acting after picking a league of extraordinary gentleman over LOTR, so it clearly does
I loved him as James Bond though

Yeah, the Irish accent was a little weird in Boogie Nights but I’m no expert

Burt was a man’s man And also deeply insecure. He needed a submissive woman who could stroke his ego. Sally is a lot of things, but not this. I think the idea of Sally in 1977 is what he loved so much , not who she evolved into. Most men have similar issues. We fall in love with a woman at a moment in time. Most women continue to evolve and men don’t. We wake up one day and wonder what happens to the “simple girl I married”

Sally and Burt didn’t work out because he was screwing every woman with a pulse In Hollywood and probably other cities, states and countries.

Burt Reynolds was awesome in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

Oh, and if you see Burt Reynolds would you shake his hand for me
And tell ol' Burt I've seen all his movies
Well, I hope you make for big time, I hope your dreams come true
But if Hollywood don't need you, honey, I still do

Damn. My impeccable record in this thread has been tarnished now.

This is the kind of thing I think of with BR. He was always kind of proud to be an a-hole.

I wasn’t surprised to hear that Burt & PTA had tensions on the Boogie Nights set. I was surprised that he hated the movie and claims to have never watched it all the way through.
shite he made that film.
