Every man's dream comes true for William Thacker, an unsuccessful Notting Hill bookstore owner, when Anna Scott, the world's most beautiful woman and best-liked actress, enters his shop. A little later, he still can't believe it himself, William runs into her again - this time spilling orange juice over her. Anna accepts his offer to change in his nearby apartment, and thanks him with a kiss, which seems to surprise her even more than him. Eventually, Anna and William get to know each other better over the months, but being together with the world's most wanted woman is not easy - neither around your closest friends, nor in front of the all-devouring press.Awards: Nominated for 3 Golden Globes., Another 12 wins & 14 nominations.Budget: $42,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $363,889,678Soundtrack: WHEN YOU SAY NOTHING AT ALL Written by Paul Overstreet and Don Schlitz Performed by Ronan Keating Courtesy of Scarlet Moon Music, administered by BMG Music Publishing By permission of Screen Gems - EMI Music Ltd Courtesy of MCA Music Publishing Courtesy of Polydor Ltd (UK) Licensed from PolyGram Film and TV Licensing UK
