Julia Roberts Hired By $20

Around 2000, George Clooney wanted Julia Roberts for Ocean's Eleven but had never met her and knew she was earning $20 million per film. Unable to match her salary, he sent her the script accompanied by a $20 bill paperclipped inside and a note stating, "I heard you're getting 20 a picture." Roberts understood the joke, accepted the call, and consented to join the cast.
