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.
