Did You Know?
| Trivia | Boxer Paolo Roberto is featured as a character in the original novel and plays himself in the movie. This is quite possibly only the fourth time in film and literature that this has happened. Previously, Richard Kiley was the tour guide voice in the movie Jurassic Park (1993), having been identified as such in Michael Crichton's novel. Lady Chablis played herself in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997) after being a character in the original non-fiction book by John Berendt. Finnish painter Kimmo Kaivanto played himself in Farewell, Mr. President (1987) after being a character in the original novel by Pentti Kirstilä. See more » |
