Erin Brockovich: The Shooting Script (Newmarket Shooting Script)
With a number of features, the hit TV series Party of Five, and the phenomenal success of Erin Brockovich to her credit, Grant is on Hollywood's A-list. The film, starring Julia Roberts in her Golden Globe Award-winning (and Academy Award-nominated) title role performance, is the true story of the twice-divorced single parent of three who, jobless and broke, goes to work for the attorney who fails to win her a judgment in an automobile accident. She stumbles upon a contaminated water cover-up in a local community, which culminates in the firm's winning the largest paid settlement, $333 million, in a direct-action proceeding in U.S. history. Grant introduces the script, and numerous stills, production notes, and cast/crew credits are appended. The Oscar bees began buzzing around this hive early on. An excellent selection for mainstream film collections.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
