After a poor take, director Herbert Ross reprimanded Dolly Parton and asked her if she could act. She replied "No, but it's your job to make me look like I can!"
Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine said in an interview that director Herbert Ross was very difficult to work with, telling the main lead actresses they couldn't act, and singling out Julia Roberts in particular, to the point that she would be left in tears.
Herbert Ross had lost his first wife Nora Kaye in 1987, only two years before the film's release. His harsh treatment of the actors led Shirley MacLaine to tell him that he'd been behaving badly since Nora's death, and it wasn't respectful to her or to them.
The cemetery scene was filmed in one take.
Meg Ryan was initially under contract to play Shelby, but the producers let her out of it to play Sally in When Harry Met Sally... (1989).
