According to the director,
Reverge Anselmo, Dori Lawrence, of the film
Stateside (2004) was based on a real actress in the 1970s who did four
movies - two of them big hits - before disappearing from the industry.
On the DVD commentary, Anselmo reveals that the actress' brother plays
the character of Silvio. The actor is
David Holcomb leading many to
believe that the actress is Sarah Holcomb of
Collège américain (1978) and
À Miami, faut le faire! (1980). Someone listed as "S.H." is thanked in the end
credits.
