Did You Know?
| Trivia | The car that Elle (Lily Tomlin) and Sage (Julia Garner) drive for much of the movie was a 1955 Dodge Royal that is owned by Lily Tomlin. Tomlin told USA Today that she bought it in 1975 for fifteen hundred dollars. She said, "It's not a prize car. It's not a car that people yearn for. But it has a nice look to it. The car is almost a character in the movie. I knew I kept that car for a reason." See more » |
