Eddie Murphy improvised the line "You're doing great! You're going to be a star." in the scene where Daisy is topless.
Heather Graham's character Daisy is a thinly veiled jab at Anne Heche. Like Daisy, Heche is from Ohio, and, also like Daisy, Heche was briefly romantically involved with a significantly older man, Steve Martin. Daisy's last lines about being involved with "the most powerful lesbian in Hollywood" are a reference to Heche's relationship at the time with Ellen DeGeneres.
