Did You Know?
| Trivia | Christina Ricci was asked in an interview if it was difficult filming the nude scenes in this movie. She said "I trained my brain not to care about nudity at work. It's like going to the beach. You could spend the whole time obsessing, or you could just go to the beach, forget about how you look, and have a good time." See more » |
