and was sent a tape of her appearance as a guest a few months earlier.

The picture of Mrs. Grape as a young woman is a real life picture of Darlene Cates as a young woman.

Despite the fact that animal protection agents were onset to monitor the wellbeing of the grasshopper Arnie decapitates in the letterbox,
Leonardo DiCaprio accidentally killed it.

Leonardo DiCaprio said that playing Arnie was "the most fun I've ever had".

Johnny Depp felt bad about having to ridicule Darlene Cates's character "Momma" and would often apologize to her after shooting.
Depp once said to Cates, "Man, I want you to know how much I hated having to say those things about you, or about your character."

Leonardo DiCaprio created Arnie's trademark flicking his finger against his nose, describing it as a sort of "brain wipe... like Arnie is massaging the inside of his brain."

Darlene Cates hadn't left her house in five years at the time of the film's release. Some of Bonnie's problems mirrored those in Darlene's life.
E.g. people staring at her, teasing her, retreating from wide society.

Hallstrom admitted that a lot of himself is reflected in Gilbert Grape's character.

Hallstrom picked Juliette Lewis on the basis of her authentic teenage performance in Cape Fear.
Peter Hedges thought she knew Becky's character so well she could have written her better than he did.

Johnny Depp dared costar Leonardo DiCaprio to sniff a rancid pickled egg and paid DiCaprio $500 when he did.
