Box Office Collection 17,952,857 USD
This film was originally intended to be made by Cannon in 1987 with Walter Matthau, Bernadette Peters and Whoopi Goldberg set to star and with a script by Garson Kanin, who developed the original play. The studio's financial troubles killed this version though it was announced at Cannes.
The Secretary of the Navy and his wife are played by retired Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee and his real-life wife, former Post reporter Sally Quinn.
Tom Selleck was offered the role of Harry Brock.
Judy Holliday won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in the original Born Yesterday (1950). In contrast, Melanie Griffith, who plays Billie Dawn in this remake, was nominated for the Razzie Award for Worst Actress. She failed to win, however.
Fred Thompson, who plays Senator Hedges, went on to be elected Senator from Tennessee the following year (1994).
"Billie: But I've been thinking a lot lately about something my dad used to say: "Without knowledge, you're less than everybody." And I don't want to be less. I mean, I don't want to be better than anybody neither and I don't want to go above myself. I just want- I want to not be less. Paul: Well, I'm afraid it's too late for that... cause you're already more than most people."
"Paul: You were great tonight. Didn't you think you were great? Billie: Oh, yeah. We really tricked them, didn't we? Paul: What's the matter? Billie: Well, if you saw a great ventriloquist, who would you compliment, the dummy? Paul: You're not a dummy."
