Julie Christie, a feminist, reportedly disliked the role of Jackie but did it for Warren Beatty, who at the time was her lover.
Lee Grant claimed in her 2014 autobiography that "everyone knew" Goldie Hawn and Warren Beatty were sleeping together, even though he was still involved with Julie Christie.
The lead character was based on actual hairdressers Jay Sebring and Jon Peters.
Lovers off and on since 1967, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie broke up for good during the making of this movie. They remained friends and later worked together in Heaven Can Wait (1978).
Carrie Fisher said she was cast in the role mainly through family connections. She said when Warren Beatty ran lines with her, he did it whilst eating. She said the whole thing for her was a lark. She also admitted years later in an article she wrote for Rolling Stone magazine that star Beatty unsuccessfully propositioned her.
"George Roundy: Let's face it, I fucked 'em all. I mean, that's what I do. That's why I went to beauty school. I mean, they're always there and I-I just can't I-I, you know, I - I don't know what I'm apologizing for. So, sometimes I fuck 'em. I go into that shop and they're so great lookin', you know, and I - I doing their hair and they feel great and they smell great. Or, I could be out on the street, you know, and I could just stop at a stoplight or go into an elevator or - I - it's a beautiful girl - I - I don't know - I mean, that's it! It makes my day. I mean, it makes me feel like I'm gonna live forever."
"George Roundy: Can't we just, eh, be friends? Lorna: Okay. [teen-aged Lorna makes George an offer he can't refuse] Lorna: You wanna fuck?"
