Erin Brockovich says film was a curse

London: American lawyer Erin Brockovich, who turned into a common household name after her story was told in a biopic starring Julia Roberts in the lead, has said the film was "a curse".The 49-year-old said the decade old movie, that led Roberts to bag the Academy Award for Best Actress for her portrayal of the legal champion of the underdog, had left her life less bearable.

"The movie turned my life upside down. It was my curse,” the Daily Express quoted her as telling In Touch magazine. "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," she added. ANI
