Did you know

• The scene where Mia slips and falls in the bleachers was real. Anne Hathaway had slipped on a puddle while doing the scene, and director Garry Marshall thought it was so funny, he inserted it in the final cut.

• During auditions, Anne Hathaway fell out of her chair, and was immediately given the part as clumsy Mia Thermopolis.

• The picture of Mia's deceased father next to her music box is Anne Hathaway's real-life father (Gerald T. Hathaway). He also appears to be writing the letter to her while fishing.
