Trivia

• Scenes were filmed with John Cusack playing one of Vale's friends in rehab that belonged to the Manson Family. His scenes were later cut.
• Though the scene in the hospital room where Doris Mann is not wearing a wig shows her as practically bald, the fight scene during TV's These Old Broads, where Debbie Reynolds's wig is pulled from her head, makes it obvious that Reynolds actually has a full and lustrous head of hair.
• The 1967 movie Valley of the Dolls, about actress' on drugs, marked one of Richard Dreyfuss's first movie roles, an assistant stage manager, which was uncredited.
• Meryl Streep did her own singing. She was accompanied for "I'm Checkin' Out" by the band Blue Rodeo, a Canadian rock group.
