The Unexpected Reality Behind Hollywood's Steamiest Scenes

Julia Roberts, "Pretty Woman"

Before filming her intimate scenes with Richard Gere, Roberts said she got so nervous that she broke out in hives. “I had never done this kind of stuff before, and I was really nervous," Roberts said. "I'd get hives. They'd say, ‘kiss,’ and I'd get a hive...but the funny thing is that we’d become such a family. This particular crew, we became so close to one another that by the time a scene like this came up—everyone knowing the way that I felt and my kind of value ideas about it—everybody was more nervous than I was.”
