We want you to be involved in "Pretty Woman's" 25th reunion, TODAY fans!
We've asked viewers to come play along on the plaza Tuesday — dressed in their best (TV-friendly) Julia Roberts and Richard Gere outfits — and now we've got another big... HUGE... announcement.
One viewer and a friend will be chosen from TODAY's plaza to be our "Pretty Woman for a Day." Thanks to our friends at the Beverly Wilshire, a Four Seasons Hotel, the lucky winners will enjoy a trip to Hollywood along with a two-night stay in the hotel's one-bedroom Rodeo View Suite, dinner for two complete with "Pretty Woman"-inspired cocktails at The BLVD restaurant, and a very special mani/pedi session.
If your dream is to live it up in Hollywood, this is your shot! RSVP to let us know you'll be there. See the official rules below.
