Julia Roberts, initial lead of Shakespeare In Love, really gave the producers the go-around
. Roberts’ attempt to woo Day-Lewis with two dozen roses and a card that read “Be my Romeo” did not change his mind.
While in London, Roberts cut out of meetings early and failed to show up for a chemistry read . When sheshow up, it was a “disaster,” according to Zwick. She “barely acknowledged” Ralph Fiennes and over the course of the week allegedly turned up her nose at up-and-comers like Rupert Graves, Colin Firth, Sean Bean, Jeremy Northam, and her soon-to-be
co-star Hugh Grant. “Julia found fault with all of them: one was stiff, another wasn’t romantic, and so on.”After two weeks of attempts, Roberts—“looking radiant in full period costume—had a final test with actor Paul McGann. Except “it was clear she hadn’t been working on the accent,” and “there was no magic,” according to Zwick.
“Sensing Julia’s discomfort, I tried to be encouraging, but she must have intuited my unease, and I made the tragic mistake of underestimating her insecurity,” he writes. “Having only recently been catapulted to the dizzying heights atop the Hollywood food chain, she must have been terrified to fail. But I would never get to talk her off the ledge. The next morning when I called her room, I was told she had checked out.
