With Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts became a household name. The movie earned her an Academy Award nomination, but Richard Gere was paid much more money for the role than she was. At that time in her career, Julia was still relatively unknown in Hollywood, even though the project could not succeed without her work. She has built up star power over time. However, in Runaway Bride, she was paid a much higher salary and became one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.
