A Real Diamond Necklace

In the movie, Edward lends Vivian a diamond necklace for the opera, but did you know that it wasn’t a prop and was actually a real diamond necklace that a jewelry store loaned to the film? It was worth $250,000 and due to its high value, there was a security guard sent to the set. The jewelry store itself sent the security guard and he never let that necklace out of his sight. The movie went on to become very successful and made a lot at the box office, so they technically could have afforded to purchase several of the necklaces.

The Song Became The Title

As mentioned earlier, the original title of the movie was “3000”, so where did “Pretty Woman” come from? Well, you might have already guessed it – it came from the classic song “Pretty Woman” by Roy Orbison. Actually, it took a while for the production to acquire the rights to use the famous song, but once the movie obtained the rights, the producers made a decision to change the title of the film. What better title to have for this classic romantic comedy other than Pretty Woman?
