Red Hot Chili Peppers appear among the musicians in Jane's photo gallery too. Other legendary musicians in the photos are Iggy Pop, David Bowie or Bruce Springsteen. They are thanked in the credits.

In the party scene in the hotel room, Daniel Lanois, a real life famous record producer, makes a cameo appearance.

This movie poster imitates the cover art of the Grand Theft Auto video game series.

In reference to her nude scenes in this movie, Frances McDormand said, "About a year-and-a-half ago, I decided that I wanted to try nudity. I knew that was a challenge I wanted to have," she explains with a smile. "And though it's not necessarily that full-on in the movie, I was nude a lot during the shooting of it, and it was about a certain physical liberation for myself as an actress."

Popular Dialogues
