The film's promotional budget was larger than its production budget.
Although the film tells a story of over three decades, it was shot in 20 days. Grant Bowler, who plays Richard Burton stated "Everything was period, wigged, for both of us, so it was long days. Lindsay came at it with absolutely everything she had and so did I."
Lindsey Lohan wore purple contacts to achieve the eye color of Liz Taylor because her eyes were so blue with a hint of purple while Lindsey has green eyes.
Lindsay Lohan suffered a car accident on her way to set, leading to a brief hospitalization which delayed filming for hours.
