Did you know
ā¢ Anne Hathaway lost weight for the role not because she was required to frequently be nude but because she'd read that many patients when they're first diagnosed with Parkinson's often shed weight.
ā¢ The convention that Maggie attends for people with Parkinson's was filled with professionals and non-professionals who all really suffer from the disease.
ā¢ At one point, director Edward Zwick jumped into bed with Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal naked for a group shot to make them feel more comfortable. This shot was used for the film's poster, with Zwick digitally removed.
