Robert Downey Jr. publicly admitted to using heroin during the making of this film. Jodie Foster wrote him a letter praising his work, but warning him that he could not keep doing this on other films.

Robert Downey Jr., who played Charles Chaplin in Chaplin (1992), plays along side the daughter of Chaplin, Geraldine Chaplin (as Aunt Glady). Geraldine Chaplin played her real-life paternal grandmother Hannah Chaplin, in Chaplin (1992).
In this movie, Anne Bancroft and Claire Danes play a grandmother and granddaughter. In How to Make an American Quilt (1995), which came out the very same year, Bancroft plays Glady Jo and Danes plays the younger version of Glady Jo in the flashback scenes. They share no screen time in either film.
David Strathairn & Holly Hunter also both starred in the movie "The Firm".
