Trivia
The role of Ann was originally written for Elizabeth McGovern, and was later offered to Brooke Shields, who turned it down. Steven Soderbergh revealed to a debut audience at the Sundance Festival in 1989 that, though Andie MacDowell ultimately earned the role, he had thought she was too weak an actress to even audition, because of her work in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.
