In an interview, Bette Midler mentioned that all three main cast members wanted to make a sequel,
but the studio was not agreeable, as they viewed the success of this film as a "fluke".
Midler also said that just before the movie opened, she was told it would not do very well
because the film was competing against action movies with male stars such as Bruce Willis.
This film opened at number one and out-grossed those action movies.
Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton were all born within 45 days of each other,
and celebrated their 50th birthdays together while filming this movie.
Doctors created Goldie Hawn's simulated collagen treatment by injecting her lips with a harmless saline solution.
Though temporary, Hawn later remarked in interviews that the experience was quite painful
and that it had discouraged her from ever getting collagen for real.
