Directed by: Garry Marshall

Vivian: Oh...Look honey, I have a runner in my pantyhose. Oops! I'm not wearing panty hose!
Woman at elevator: Shut your mouth, dear.
Edward: What makes you think I am a lawyer?
Vivian: You have that sharp, useless look about you.
Edward: You can't charge me for directions.
Vivian: I can do anything I want, baby. I ain't lost.
Continuity mistake: During the scene where Vivian is with Edward at the hotel room, they're talking while he's inside sitting and she's outside. You can see on the first shot it's day time and when Edward stands up and goes near her it's evening time already. (or viceversa)
Trivia: The scene where Edward offers Viv the necklace and shuts the box on her fingers wasn't scripted - Richard Gere did it as a joke. You can tell because when he does it, Julia Roberts laughs and looks up and around (ie. at the film crew) - in the context of the scene there wasn't anyone there for her to look at. (01:21:45)

Answer: There were no details other than Vivian's family was dysfunctional, and her abusive mother mistreated her by frequently locking her in the attic. Presumably, she left home as soon as possible. She turned to prostitution because it's more profitable than a low-wage job.
