Joni Mitchell, who was Lisa Cholodenko's inspiration for the Jane character, is among the musicians in Jane's photo gallery.
In reference to her nude scenes in this movie, Frances McDormand said, "About a year-and-a-half ago, I decided that I wanted to try nudity. I knew that was a challenge I wanted to have," she explains with a smile. "And though it's not necessarily that full-on in the movie, I was nude a lot during the shooting of it, and it was about a certain physical liberation for myself as an actress."
