 Movie mogul Jerry Weintraub convinced Julia Roberts to drop her going rate of $20 million-a-movie to star in Ocean's Eleven by sending her a cheeky note poking fun at her high salary. The Pretty Woman actress starred as the wife of George Clooney's character Danny Ocean in the 2001 heist film and agreed to appear for a fraction of her usual fee.
And it was a funny letter containing a $20 bill from Weintraub, Clooney and director Steven Soderbergh that won her over. In his upcoming memoir, Weintraub reveals the note read: "We know you get 20 (million dollars) for a movie, but you will have to work for a little less on this one."
