The cast of Pretty Woman reunited this week on the Today show this week, a quarter century after the now-iconic film was first released in theaters.
Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Hector Elizondo, Laura San Giacomo, and director Garry Marshall all appeared to mark the occasion and all looked terrific:
With the appearance came little known facts about Pretty Woman, which apparently wasn't going to be called Pretty Woman when it was first conceived.
When Marshall joined the cast, the film was called 3,000, and was a rather dark tale. Roberts, now 47, explained of the original script for the 1990 classic:
“At the end of the original script, Richard’s character threw my character out of the car, threw the money on top of her, and drove away, and the credits rolled.”
Yikes. No wonder Marshall decided to turn it into a love story.
Gere said back then he needed convincing to take on the role he referred to as "the suit," saying, “you could put a suit on a goa ... so I didn’t get it.”
It took one “pretty woman” to persuade him to accept, though. Marshall took Roberts to visit Gere and left the room so they could have a conversation.
“She’s across the desk and she takes a piece of paper, a Post-it, and she turns it around and she pushes it to me and she says ‘Please say yes,’” Gere said.
“It was so sweet, and I said, ‘I just said yes.’”
As for their chemistry, which made the film such a classic, Gere said it was instant, noting, “We loved each other immediately, it was a really great thing.”
Mackenzie Rosman wasn't available for this Seventh Heaven reunion because she was too busy posing in lingerie and trying to shed her child star image.
The boys of Laguna Beach got together recently at a wedding and recreated an image from their glory days of MTV Reality programming.
When Married...With Children matriarch Peg Bundy, aka Katey Sagal, was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, her TV family showed up to support her. No, the OTHER TV family. The ones without motorcycles.
My how the ladies of Facts of Life have changed! And where's Tootie?

The stars of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants are all grown up! But they'll be best friends forever, you guys!
The stars of Napoleon Dynamite reunited to commemorate a bronzed statue of John Heder. Yes, the statue wants you to vote for Pedro.
If you build it...they will reunite to promote it. Probably. (Because what else does Kevin Costner have going on these days besides really, really terrible movies?)
The Little Rascals got together to recreate the film's original movie cover. We're not exactly sure whether or not that's the same dog.

We're pretty much always hoping for the day the Friends grace Central Perk together again, but for now, we'll settle for the women showing up on Jimmy Kimmel.
The only thing that would make this even remotely better is if they'd been attending a showing of Buffy the Musical together. ONCE MORE! WITH FEELING!
Xander and Anya forever, amiright? (I'm totally right.)
Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz and Hilarie Burton are back together! The three One Tree Hill alums pose here for a reunion photo.
