According to an article in Premiere Magazine 1997, all extras had to sign an agreement promising not to attempt to approach or speak to actresses Michelle Pfeiffer or Jessica Lange.
Michelle Pfeiffer battled with producers during the extensive re-editing. When the film was released, Lange stated that the performances were the only thing that worked.
Michelle Pfeiffer, one of the film's producers, traveled the talk show circuit in order to promote the film; a publicity standard she had avoided since the early 80s.
Michelle Pfeiffer stated in 2001 that she was unhappy with her performance in the film; a fact which saddened her given that she had been a part of the film's creation since 1992.
During production, Jessica Lange was preparing to star in the film version of Colette's novel 'Cheri'. The project stalled, and was abandoned for nearly a decade before Stephen Frears revived it, casting Michelle Pfeiffer in the lead role.
