“Julia Roberts came in years ago, and the commercial agent who met with her at the time said, ”Nah, she’’s too trailer park”, the New York Post quoted her as saying. As a matter of fact, when we moved offices.

We were going through old rejection files, and in there was Annette Bening.Robin Givens, Julia Roberts and a couple of others,” she added.Other people who have had revelations made about them in the Lawrences book included David Bowie, Janet Jackson and Sean “Diddy” Combs.
