Did You Know?

Trivia French actress Leslie Coutterand was on call throughout the entire shoot to replace Lindsay Lohan at a moment's notice due to Lohan's repeated absences. Coutterrand was essentially paid to be Lohan's understudy in case she left the set and didn't return. Problem was, she was in France. Also, once Lohan filmed her first couple of scenes, she knew there was less chance of her being replaced because the production couldn't afford to reshoot her scenes with another actress. See more »
