The lawyer Julia Roberts turned into a U.S. heroine in Erin Brockovich a decade ago has confessed the film was "a curse".
Roberts won an Oscar for her portrayal of the legal champion of the underdog but the real Brockovich has revealed the movie was far from a blessing.
Looking back, the lawyer tells In Touch magazine, "The movie turned my life upside down. It was my curse.
"I got mean comments about my looks, my bustier and my foul language. People would send rude letters... Sometimes it was more than I could bear."
And, when she became an overnight celebrity, Brockovich admits she was always away from home - and her relationship with her daughter Elizabeth suffered.
The teenager turned to marijuana and cocaine and didn't have her mum around to steer her in the right direction.
Elizabeth is 18 now and the lawyer insists she has a great relationship with her daughter again: "Everything is so much better now between us."
She can't say the same about Roberts - the two women never speak - but she'd like to meet up with the actress to mark the film's 10th anniversary.
Well, i think she really has no one but herself to blame...
