• The last on screen feature film appearance by legendary actor Harry Dean Stanton.

• Katherine Helmond's final film.

• Among the locations used for "Frank and Ava" was Sinatra's Palm Springs estate, "Twin Palms", which features included two large palm trees flanking a piano-shaped swimming pool, an original Valentino sound recording system, and a sink in the master bathroom bearing a crack from a champagne bottle that Frank threw at Ava during one of their legendary brawls. (The latter was incorporated into the story by the film makers once they discovered the "damage".)
