🤔 Answer for Today's Trivia Question:

Correct Answer: B) Roy Orbison

"Pretty Woman" is celebrated for its soundtrack, box office success, and spontaneous on-screen moments, encapsulating its charm and appeal. The film, a top romantic comedy in the U.S. by ticket sales, features memorable moments like Richard Gere's improvised scene where he snaps a necklace case on Julia Roberts's fingers, a genuine reaction that was kept in the final cut.

The theme song for "Pretty Woman," inspired by Roy Orbison's wife, won Orbison a posthumous Grammy. The song was written for Orbison’s first wife, Claudette Frady. One day, she left for the store — by “walking down the street” — and by the time she returned, Orbison had written what would become his most enduring hit. Frady died in a motorcycle accident in 1966, two years after the song hit No. 1 on the charts. Orbison’s second wife, Barbara Orbison, says the song was “like Bruce Springsteen said: It’s the best girl-watching rock ‘n’ roll song ever.” Independent producer Ben Manilla spoke with Barbara Orbison and Bill Dees, the co-writer of “Oh, Pretty Woman,” to tell the story behind of Roy Orbison’s most enduring hit. “He turned to me with the guitar lick, and he said, ‘I feel like I need to say something while they’re playing [that guitar lick],'” Dees says. “I said, ‘Well, you’re always saying [the word] ‘mercy,’ why don’t you say mercy?’ You know, I said, ‘Every time you see a pretty girl you say mercy.'”
