SECRETS FROM THE SET

CASTING SHAKE-UP

Bruce Willis wasn’t the first choice to play plastic surgeon Ernest! Kevin Kline was originally meant for the role, but dropped out and was replaced by the Die Hard star.

2 MOVIE MAGIC

In the famous scene where a ‘resurrected’ Madeline confronts Ernest, the scene was filmed by having Meryl wear a blue screen hood over her head while walking backwards.

3 BATTLE WOUNDS

During Madeline and Helen’s physical fight scenes, Meryl accidentally wound up scarring Goldie’s cheek with a shovel!

BROADWAY BOUND

A stage adaptation has been in the works for years, with

Wicked star Kristin Chenoweth attached to play Meryl’s role.

5 NUDEY RUDEY

In one scene, Isabella Rossellini’s scantily clad character Lisle appears nude walking out of her indoor lavish pool – but it’s actually a nude stunt double!
