However, she revealed that Marshall would often give her funny instructions to provoke a reaction. Roberts also discussed her working relationship with Marshall, who passed away in 2016, describing him as a beloved figure who taught her the importance of kindness and family. The actress also mentioned turning down roles in movies that became successful, such as You’ve Got Mail and Closer.
