The song "Evergreen" was performed live on set and recorded in one take, at the insistence of Barbra Streisand, who detested singing to a backing track. Streisand wanted several close-ups in the scene, which would have been difficult to achieve with lip-syncing. Kris Kristofferson, on the other hand, was not enthusiastic about the idea of performing live in front of the camera, so he had to be persuaded.
While John watches Esther's first performance on stage, he is approached by one of the bar patrons. This man was played by Robert Englund, best known for his role as the serial killer Freddy Krueger in the "Nightmare on Elm Street" franchise. Englund's name does not appear in the credits.
The film shows Barbra Streisand receiving a Grammy Award. Streisand did indeed receive a Grammy and an Oscar for the song "Evergreen" from this film.
Screenwriters Joan Didion and John Gregory Dunne spent three months on tour with Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, and Jethro Tull to get a feel for what it's like to be a rock star.
