* ActorInspiredElement: Creator/JessicaWalter was Eastwood's first choice to play Evelyn (after seeing her in Creator/SidneyLumet's ''The Group''), and he actually never even auditioned anyone else for the role. Once she was cast, Walter had lots of discussions with Eastwood in which she shaped Evelyn's portrayal, and she also researched the psychological issues of the character.
Added DiffLines:
* WriteWhoYouKnow: Jo Heims, who concocted the story and wrote the first draft of the screenplay, based Evelyn on a friend of hers who had StalkerWithACrush tendencies with men (though in a much more innocuous way than Evelyn).
