Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard fell in love while working on the movie and subsequently had two children together, Hanna and Walker.
Jessica Lange's performance in this film has been said to be actor Sir Anthony Hopkins's favorite by an actress.
The production company of this film was Mel Brooks's Brooksfilms, but as with The Elephant Man (1980), Brooks preferred not to have his personal name, which is associated with comedy, billed with the picture. So though Brooks was an executive producer on this movie, Brooks received no on-screen credit.
Jessica Lange, whose part was so emotionally taxing, urged that the film be shot in sequence, but - due to its low budget of $8 to $10 million - the movie was shot out of sequence.
László Kovács, the director of photography, decided that the best way to show a lobotomized Frances Farmer was to take out the eye lights he'd been using the entire film.
"Arresting Sergeant: Your name? Frances Farmer: You jerks drag me down here in the middle of the night and you don't know who the hell I am? Arresting Sergeant: Your name lady? Frances Farmer: Frances Elena Farmer. Want me to spell it? Arresting Sergeant: And your address? Frances Farmer: Put me down as a vag, vagrant, vagabond. What is this, a joke? It's a joke? Assault and battery? Huh? I barely touched that bitch. Arresting Sergeant: Occupation? Frances Farmer: Cocksucker."
"Lillian Farmer: When you get well, you're going to thank me. Frances Farmer: No, you are not talking now! You listen. Now you can send me away and pretend I'm crazy and you can pretend I'm still your little girl who can't take care of herself. But Lillian, there is one thing that you cannot pretend any more and that is that I love you. Because I don't. I can't. Not after what you've done to me. Because I am still me. I've been trying real hard all this time to be me. And you, little sister - you haven't been any help at all."
