This episode marked the final onscreen appearance of Mary Astor. Astor's daughter, Marylyn, later speculated that her mother may have been inebriated during her interview, which may explain why her talking head clips were so brief compared to many of the other interviewees.
Quote from Mary Astor's daughter Marilyn Thorpe on her mother's appearance in this episode: "There were a few words from Mom around age 70 plus. She didn't look too healthy and to me she appeared rather snobbish. I kept looking at her dilated eyes, wondering why they were that way. She seemed to slur a bit. Maybe she was a tad soused? Most likely she was just bored again."
