Production
According to Stacey Sher, one of the film's producers, when they were attempting to locate financing for the film they had the real Erin Brockovich pitch her life story to an unnamed movie studio executive who yawned in the middle of her pitch. One of the film's executive producers, Carla Shamberg, said, "I'm sorry. Are we keeping you awake?"
Erin Brockovich performed well with test audiences but executives at Universal Pictures were worried that audiences would be turned off by the title character's use of profane language.
