TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Sales of Margaret Keane paintings soared ahead of the release of the film. Small paintings sold for $8,500 a piece. Director Tim Burton owns an extensive collection of her work. In the 1990s, Burton commissioned Keane to paint a portrait of his then-girlfriend Lisa Marie. Keane has also painted portraits of Burton's (now former) partner Helena Bonham Carter, and Burton's late Chihuahua.

For research, Amy Adams consulted with the real-life Margaret Keane, who was in her late 80s. According to Adams, Keane was overwhelmed by the notion that anybody would want to make a film about her life.

Amy Adams liked the script when it was offered to her, but she originally turned down the role of Margaret because the character lacked "a stronger sense of self." Working on American Hustle (2013) gave Adams a new perspective of the character, and the character's "quiet dignity" won her over. The relationship between the mother and the daughter spoke to her as well.

This is the first live-action Tim Burton film to feature neither Johnny Depp nor Helena Bonham Carter since Mars Attacks! (1996).

In 1998, animator Craig McCracken's cartoon series The Powerpuff Girls (1998) premiered. The leads are based on Keane's "waifs," and one character is named "Ms. Keane."

Popular Dialogues

"Ruben: What's that with the big crazy eyes? Walter Keane: Oh. Well, I believe that you can see things in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul."

"Walter Keane: Would you rather sell one $500 painting or a million cheaply reproduced posters? See, folks don't care if it's a copy. They just want art that touches them."
