Did you know

Neve Campbell said in a 2006 interview that she loved stripping off onscreen and wasn't nervous filming her first ever nude scene for this movie. Her faith in the director James Toback had a lot to do with her willingness to bare all, but she also credited her maturity. "[The nudity] did make sense, so I didn't feel I was compromising myself. And I think also, I'm just a little more comfortable with myself than I would have been five years ago." The only weird part she admitted was being fully naked in a shower with the director, cameraman and two other male crew staring at her from just a few feet away. But she admitted she'd still go nude again if the right role called for it.

Neve Campbell said James Toback let her choose the actress who would play Sam so she'd be more comfortable filming their lesbian love scene together. She meet with several actresses to figure out who she connected with and that's how Joelle Carter was cast. Then the two went over the scene together, decided how they wanted to do it, and Toback filmed it that way.

While many directors may try to over direct nude scenes, which just ends up making actors uncomfortable, Neve Campbell said director James Toback's only direction when it came to her shower scene was to just take her robe off and then "get in and bathe."
