Trivia Like her character Ava, actress Sandra Mae Frank is deaf, although not from birth. Frank lost her hearing when she was three years old, and went on to become a stage actress before she broke into television and movies. She has since been a proponent of casting more deaf actors in mainstream cinema. See more »
Goofs Frank texts Doug for help. Doug calls him back and, instead of texting Doug and saying that he can't hear, Frank gets Ava to read Doug's lips on the Facetime connection. Frank should be texting anyway so that the killers can't hear him. See more »
