* ApprovalOfGod: The real Sister Helen Prejean was very happy with and supportive of the final film and Susan Sarandon's portrayal of her. The two became friends with Sister Helen later even officiating the wedding of Eva Amurri.

* ThrowItIn: The scene of Helen being stopped for speeding by Creator/ClancyBrown's police officer and starting to write her a ticket before reflecting on how he once gave a ticket to an IRS agent and got audited shortly after and decides to not risk giving one to a nun wasn't in the script. It happened to the real Sister Helen during filming and she found it funny enough to ask for it to be included.

* CareerResurrection: Creator/SeanPenn initially garnered acclaim in TheEighties with sharply contrasting performances in ''Film/FastTimesAtRidgemontHigh'' and ''Film/TheFalconAndTheSnowman'', but saw his career regress many steps after starring opposite his then-wife Music/{{Madonna}} in the widely hated ''Film/ShanghaiSurprise''. While he kept working on-off for the next few years, his star power only recovered fully when this film, and his performance, became praised by critics, a decent box office success, and a major contender at the UsefulNotes/{{Academy Award}}s.
