Did you know

• Allison Janney filmed her Oscar-winning role in just eight days.

• When Tonya Harding first saw the film, she particularly liked the "Suck my dick!" line. She told Margot Robbie that she wished she had actually said that.

• Allison Janney had seriously trained to become a figure skater throughout her childhood and adolescence. However, when she was 17, she accidentally walked into a sliding glass door and gravely injured her right leg. In 2014, during an interview on "Fresh Air," Janney told interviewer Terry Gross that her leg came close to being amputated. "I lost like three-quarters of my blood. I lost an artery and cut tendon....I was in the hospital for like seven--seven, eight weeks. I missed my first year of college. You know, and after that, of course, I didn't really--I didn't skate for a very long time."
