Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Starring: Julia Roberts, Richard Gere, Jason Alexander, Hector Elizondo, Ralph Bellamy, Laura San Giacomo, Amy Yasbeck
Richard Gere (Edward) decides to become partners with the old guy instead of destroying his company. Edward offers Vivian a place to live in New York but she refuses, saying she doesn't want him when he has time, she wants "the fairy-tale". She moves back in with Kit and plans to moves to San Francisco to finish school. Edward comes to her apartment, climbs the fire escape and "rescues" her and they get together.

Edward: What makes you think I am a lawyer?
Vivian: You have that sharp, useless look about you.
Trivia: The scene where Edward offers Viv the necklace and shuts the box on her fingers wasn't scripted - Richard Gere did it as a joke. You can tell because when he does it, Julia Roberts laughs and looks up and around (ie. at the film crew) - in the context of the scene there wasn't anyone there for her to look at. (01:21:45)

Answer: There were no details other than Vivian's family was dysfunctional, and her abusive mother mistreated her by frequently locking her in the attic. Presumably, she left home as soon as possible. She turned to prostitution because it's more profitable than a low-wage job.
