The story line is based on Carrie Fisher's own life and battle with fame, family and addiction.
Debbie Reynolds reportedly wanted to play the role of Doris Mann, loosely based on herself. However, director Mike Nichols personally requested Shirley MacLaine.
Meryl Streep did her own singing.
Liza Minnelli reportedly told writer Carrie Fisher that the film resembles her own relationship with her own famous mother, Judy Garland.
The cop movie Suzanne works on, "LA Beat", is a reference to Fisher's Hollywood Vice Squad (1986).
"Doris: Will you please tell me what is this awful thing I did to you when you were a child! Suzanne: Okay, you want to know? Do you? Doris: I want to know! Tell me! Suzanne: Okay, FINE! From the time I was 9 years old, you gave me sleeping pills! Doris: That was over-the-counter medication, and I gave it to you because you couldn't sleep! Suzanne: Mom! You don't give children sleeping pills when they can't sleep! Doris: They were not sleeping pills! It was store-bought and it was perfectly SAFE! Now don't blame ME for your drug-taking! I do not blame my mother for my misfortunes or for my drinking! Suzanne: Well, you don't acknowledge that you drink. How could you possibly blame your mother for something you don't even do? Remember my 17th birthday party when you lifted your skirt up in front of all those people, including that guy, Michael? Doris: I did not lift my skirt, it TWIRLED UP! You only remember the bad stuff, don't you? What about the big band that I got to play at that party? Do you remember that? No! You only remembered that my skirt accidentally TWIRLED UP! Suzanne: And you weren't wearing any underwear. Doris: Well..."
"Doris: I was such an awful mother... what if you had a mother like Joan Crawford or Lana Turner? Suzanne: These are the options? You, Joan or Lana?"
