If I turn around, and I see you, and you don’t need to be on this set, I’m going to punch you in the face.” And I said, and maybe I could get sued for this now, “I’m going to take off my robe. PA: So you feel this strength from women, and even male allies were like, “Yeah, we’re not going to have any monitors around the set.” I had to do this one part with David Lynch, and I was going to have to walk around totally naked in the scene, and I was so uptight. They don’t even say anything, but they’re like, “We’re here.” PA: What I have found in these parts that have been more sexual, there’s always this coven of women from the wardrobe department and makeup people. JR: Well, you were hot as a pistol, and very compelling, but … Do you break for lunch after that? Where is everybody? Who’s standing there? ![]() It’s going to be the first time I’m ever not going to use body makeup.” I want to move away from myself and have the conversation: What kind of body types are acceptable? Who’s sexy, and who gets to decide who’s sexy? For me, when I was looking at the sex scenes in “Escape at Dannemora,” it was like, “I’m going to gain all this weight. So I’m really uptight, and yet I’ve played several parts that are very sexually more free than I am, and comfortable. I take baths in the dark often, really in real life. PA: For me, I’m completely the opposite in my personal life. I was breaking out in a cold sweat watching “Escape at Dannemora.”… Oh, my Christ. Even in “Pretty Woman,” if I had to be in a slip, I’d be covered in hives. But I also had a fantasy of recasting you in “3,000,” the original script, and you could even do it now. And it became more something that is in my wheelhouse. I thought, “Went to Disney? Are they going to animate it?” Garry Marshall came on, and because he’s a great human being, he felt it would only be fair to meet me, since I had this job for three days and lost it. JR: There was one producer that stayed with the script, and it went to Disney. This small movie company folded over the weekend, and by Monday, I didn’t have a job. JR: I got the part in “3,000.” I love that you’re asking me this question, but I had no business being in a movie like that. When you first read it, it was that incarnation. So it really read like a gritty art movie. JR: Threw her out of the car, threw the money on top of her, as memory serves, and just drove away, leaving her in some dirty alley. PA: So many, many, many years ago, one of my early auditions was for a movie called “3,000.” Most people don’t know that “3,000” was the original “Pretty Woman” script. And they proved that they retain the capacity to surprise. Arquette went dark, first as a prison employee involved in a breakout on Showtime’s “Escape at Dannemora” and then as a villainous mother on Hulu’s “The Act.” And Roberts, among the last holdout movie stars to make the leap into television, found a project worthy of her dramatic chops, as a therapist at a facility for war veterans on Amazon’s “Homecoming.” TV may have been a new frontier for Roberts - but she took to it as easily as Arquette did to interviewing. Roberts and Arquette have both won Oscars and every other award known to womankind. ![]()
