Trivia
The episode's title refers to lyrics from the Elton John song Candle In The Wind, which was a tribute to Marilyn Monroe (Real name Norma Jean Baker).

Goofs
Barbara Whitmore claims to have seen all of Marilyn Monroe's films, from Dangerous Years (1947) to Let's Make Love (1960). This is an impossibility, as Let's Make Love (1960) was released on 8 September 1960, whereas Sam leaps into 4 April.

Quotes
[Sam has gently averted Marilyn's advances]
Dr. Sam Beckett: It's not that I don't want to. I mean, every man on the planet wants you.
Marilyn Monroe: They don't want me. They want Marilyn. But I'm not her. She's somebody that I put on, like a cashmere sweater or a mink coat. Somehow, I think you're the first man I've ever met that really understands that.
Dr. Sam Beckett: I'm sure there were others too. I just... Maybe you weren't listening.
Marilyn Monroe: I listened. Men didn't.
