The real story behind Erin Brockovich.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Erin Brockovich is a powerful story about a lawyer's investigation into the major cover-up of a local community's contaminated water supply, earning its star Julia Roberts an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role, but the film makes several changes to the true story of Erin Brockovich and her pursuit of justice.
11 The Real Erin Brockovich Got Chromium Poisoning It Made Her Closer To The Hinkley Victims During her investigation of Hinkley's water supply, Erin Brockovich herself got chromium poisoning, and a hospital scene with Julia Roberts was filmed to include that. However, speaking on the Erin Brockovich DVD commentary, director Steven Soderbergh decided against including the scene in the final cut of the film. He believed that it wouldmake Erin into a martyr.
Despite the whopping $333 million, the highest settlement paid in the United States for a direct-action lawsuit, it was not distributed based on the medical issuesof each family who was affected, and many who thought they would receive a substantial amount to cover their medical bills received paltry sums.
In point of fact, the real Erin Brockovich's windfall was even higher than that at $2.5 million, which highlighted her temerity, resourcefulness, and determined spirit as an underdog taking on a huge corporation that would normally have been able to outlast a small firm in court simply by throwing money at the problem. It could be that the movie just preferred a more rounded number to make an impact in the final scene.
Unlike in the film, after Erin and her boyfriend broke up, he was employed as her children's nanny for years by the law firm so that she could spend more time focusing on her work. It's possible that this scenario would have been overly complicated for the film to include, but it's a fascinating example of two adults putting their mutual differences aside for a purpose larger than themselves .
