Did you know
• The movie's finale was filmed in the apartment where Dorothy Stratten was murdered and Paul Snider committed suicide.
• Aram Nicholas is a fictionalized version of film director Peter Bogdanovich. Bogdanovich was dating Dorothy Stratten around the time that they collaborated on They All Laughed (1981). In this film, the title of that collaboration was changed to "Tinsel Time". This was due to Bogdanovich threatening to sue if he was unhappy with how he was portrayed. Although, all the other films she appeared in had their names changed too, like Skatetown U.S.A. (1979) to Ball Bearings and Autumn Born (1979) to Wednesday's Child.
• Hugh Hefner said that Eric Roberts' portrayal of Paul Snider was right on the money, but William Sachs who had directed Dorothy Stratten in the sci-fi comedy Galaxina (1980) claims that it was an inaccurate portrayal, and that Snider would rarely ever talk to anyone who wasn't Dorothy and would just look at others with a creepy 'death stare'.
