I don't get her appeal and why she is so lauded in Hollywood.

I don't know. There's just something fascinating about her work. I don't follow her real life. I just like her movies.

The (unexpected) success of 'Pretty Woman' (then similar 'sassy' roles) ensured such?

To be fair, her brother is the actual 'talented' sibling?

She had some decent films early on in her career. Mystic Pizza is underrated while Pretty Woman, Flatliners & Sleeping with the Enemy are ok as well.

She's pretty enough that men like her and yet somehow not in a way that women resent her. Not that many actresses can pull that off.

Never was a big fan of her. She's not ugly but I wouldn't say I was ever smitten. Too much teeth as well! Always seemed like an overly aggressive woman.

The way she stole that other woman's husband was beyond scummy in my opinion.

Pretty Woman was huuuuuuuuge though.

Claim to fame is she played some stupid whore.
