Composer Elmer Bernstein reportedly wrote a letter to Demi Moore thanking her for rejecting his music score for this movie, so that he could use it to score a better movie. Moore was involved in getting John Barry to write the final score, because she wanted a score like the one he did for the romantic, and very successful Out of Africa (1985).
While viewing a scene during production, Demi Moore so disliked the way her hair looked that she insisted the scene be re-shot, at her own expense.
Demi Moore reportedly said she was fine with changing the ending, because "not that many people have read the book." (She wasn't aware that millions of students are assigned to read this in their high school English class, apparently). After the movie bombed at the box office, shops in Concord, Massachusetts, began selling t-shirts that read, "'Not that many people have seen the movie.' - Nathaniel Hawthorne."

Demi Moore's real-life daughters, Scout and Tallulah, played infant Pearl and little Pearl, respectively.

"Pearl: My father died before I reached my teens. Some say that was a punishment. My mother never remarried or loved another. Some say THAT was a punishment."
