The biographical drama, Erin Brockovich, directed by Steven Soderbergh, and starring Julia Roberts, Albert Finney, and Aaron Eckhart opened on this date.
Julia Roberts won the Academy Award for best actress for her role as Erin Brockovich and famously forgot to thank the real Erin Brockovich-Ellis in her acceptance speech. Afterwards, she was quoted as saying “It doesn’t bring out the Albert Einstein moment that you hoped it would.”
