That Time Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland Didn't Get Married
Listen now
Description
Julia Roberts was a freshly minted, Oscar-nominated movie star when she and Kiefer Sutherland (semi Hollywood royalty) announced their wedding, to be held on the Fox studio lot. That should have been an early sign of things to come. As should Kiefer's desire to have a full Thanksgiving dinner served at their June wedding (he really likes Thanksgiving, OK?). Then, days before the wedding, Julia called the whole thing off and flew to Ireland on what would have been her wedding day with Jason Patric—a close friend of Kiefer's who, perhaps not coincidentally, was disinvited from the wedding shortly before the breakup. And thus began what Julia Roberts would call her "Fellini summer."  Host Mark Peikert walks us through the scandal that has become part of Hollywood lore for some, and has been completely forgotten by most. This marks the first installment of his three-part series Duck, Duck, You're F*cked, examining the scandals that some stars managed to slough off and one scandal that ended a promising career.
