Julia Roberts | Annie Reed – Sleepless In Seattle

Among her many on-screen performances, it’s safe to say one title that undoubtedly garnered Julia Roberts a skyrocketing degree of praise and recognition would be the 1990 film Pretty Woman. Since then, she’s added more notable roles to her name, though most fans would probably be surprised she turned down this one project.Along the way, Roberts was offered the chance to star in the 1993 rom-com Sleepless in Seattle.

Although the opportunity would’ve made her known for appearing on two hit 1990s romance flicks, the Wonder actress declined the part, which was eventually given to Meg Ryan. Like other lines of work, there’s undoubtedly some level of competition among celebrities, but not for Robers. Way before the movie even premiered in theaters, she was already a big fan of Sleeping in Seattle’s on-screen couple, portrayed by Ryan and Tom Hanks.
