Behind The Scenes
Sofia Coppola, the daughter of director Francis Ford Coppola, was given the role after the original choice, Winona Ryder, became sick. Her performance was panned by most movie critics and earned her two Razzies for Worst Supporting Actress and Worst New Star of 1990. In his review of the film in his Movie and Video Guide, critic Leonard Maltin calls the casting of Coppola an "almost fatal flaw."

Famous quotes containing the word scenes:
“How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood,
When fond recollection presents them to view!
The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood,
And every loved spot which my infancy knew,”
—Samuel Woodworth (1788–1842)
