Julia Roberts, the beloved actress who brought iconic characters like Vivian Ward and Anna Scott to life, has recently offered her thoughts on where these characters might be today. In a recent interview, Roberts shared her imaginative vision for the future lives of these unforgettable women.
Vivian Ward in Pretty Woman
For Vivian Ward, from “Pretty Woman,” in which Roberts played a sex worker who fell in love with one of her clients, a wealthy businessman named Edward Lewis played by Richard Gree. Roberts theorized that Vivan and Edward would no longer be together because she thinks “he passed away peacefully in his sleep from a heart attack, smiling. And now she runs his business.”
Roberts’ prediction aligns with Vivian’s character arc in the film. Throughout the story, Vivian demonstrates her intelligence, business acumen, and unwavering spirit. It’s only fitting that she would continue to thrive and build a successful life for herself beyond the realm of Hollywood.
Anna Scott in Notting Hill
For Anna Scott, the charming and down-to-earth actress from “Notting Hill,” Roberts paints a picture of a more peaceful and introspective life. “I think Anna would have retired from acting by now,” Roberts commented. “She has six children and has maintained her waist size, amazingly. And yeah … he runs the bookshop still.”
Julia Roberts says “Leave the World Behind” is both a disaster movie and a thriller, but also “a story about this family, this husband and wife, who are kind of opposites.”@GayleKing also quizzes her on iconic roles — and Roberts opens up about marriage to her “favorite human.” pic.twitter.com/laSQXvs4tm

This vision of Anna’s future aligns with her desire for a simpler life expressed in the film. While she enjoys aspects of her career, Anna ultimately values authenticity and connection over fame and fortune. Starting a family and settling down in Notting Hill with William seems like a natural progression for her character.
A Legacy of Inspiring Characters
Both Vivian and Anna, though vastly different in their personalities and circumstances, share a common thread – their strength and resilience. They face challenges and overcome them with grace and determination, inspiring audiences worldwide.
Julia Roberts’ imaginative insights into the future lives of these characters add another layer of depth and intrigue to their stories. It’s a reminder of the enduring power of film and the ability of characters to stay with us long after the credits roll.
Whether it’s Vivian building her business empire or Anna raising her family, one thing remains certain: these characters will continue to captivate and inspire audiences for generations to come.
