James Coco became the first actor to be nominated for both an Academy Award and a Razzie for the same performance. Coco won neither award. The only people to repeat this have been Amy Irving for Yentl (1983) and Glenn Close for Hillbilly Elegy (2020).
Final completed feature film of actress Joan Hackett.
At the time of production, Marsha Mason was married to Neil Simon, the film's Producer, Screenwriter, and source Playwright. Of the movies they made together, Max Dugan Returns (1983) and this film, were the only ones where Simon was a Producer.
In its premiere engagement in America, this movie was released just six months before another filmed adaptation of a Neil Simon play, I Ought to Be in Pictures (1982). That movie was directed by Herbert Ross, who had been the first choice to direct Only When I Laugh (1981). Both works predominantly dealt with the conflict between a daughter and a parent, the parent being a mother in Only When I Laugh (1981), and a father in I Ought to Be in Pictures (1982). Both parent characters also abuse alcohol. Both films are reconciliation movies; in each film, the parent and daughter have not seen each other for several years.
Georgia Haines, the name of the focal character played by Marsha Mason, was an alteration by writer Neil Simon from his original source play "The Gingerbread Lady" whose focal character is named Evy Meara. By apparent coincidence Mason had played the character Georgia Merkle in the Simon-penned The Cheap Detective (1978).
"Toby: [as kids beat on her car] God damn them! Why do you live in this neighborhood? Why don't you move? Georgia: Because, it only costs me $300 a month. It's a sublet from Mary Todd Lincoln."
"Georgia: Let me sleep on the sofa. I love sleeping on the sofa. Beds are too big when you're alone."
