Added DiffLines:
* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/JulianneMoore was the one who suggested that her character had to be blonde. Creator/ToddHaynes disagreed at first, but later told her she was right. So he had to do some changes in the film, like the color of the scarf, in order to fit that.
* AwesomeDearBoy: Creator/DennisQuaid agreed to being in the film without even reading the screenplay as he was so keen to work with Creator/ToddHaynes.
* HideYourPregnancy: Creator/JulianneMoore was pregnant during filming. Costume designer Sandy Powell commissioned a duplicate of Cathy's party dress, with the pattern modified to fit her, after shooting of the party scene was pushed back to later in the schedule. However, due to budget constraints, duplicating the dress was not an option. The dress was carefully shaded by a member of the wardrobe department to disguise Moore's pregnancy.
* RealitySubtext: Creator/DennisQuaid found the secretive husband easy to relate to as Quaid himself had covered up the fact that he had been a cocaine addict for many years.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Creator/ToddHaynes wrote the script envisioning Creator/JamesGandolfini as Frank, but he was unavailable due to ''Series/TheSopranos''. Haynes' next choice, Creator/RussellCrowe, believed that the role was too small, and Creator/JeffBridges wanted too much money.
* WorkingTitle: ''This Splendid Life'', ''Circles in the Sun'', ''The Surface of Things'' and ''Fall From Splendor''.
