• Reese Witherspoon was originally considered for the role of Jules, but she left the project, and the role ultimately went to Anne Hathaway.
• Before offering the role of Ben Whittaker to Robert De Niro, Nancy Meyers offered it to Jack Nicholson.
• Drena, Robert De Niro's foster daughter, plays the role of a hotel manager in the film.
• Initially, it was assumed that the film would be made by Paramount Pictures, and Tina Fey would star in the lead role.
• This is the third collaboration between Robert De Niro and Rene Russo. They previously starred together in Tom Dey's action comedy "Showtime" (2002) and Des McAnuff's adventure comedy "Rocky & Bullwinkle" (2000).
• Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway studied the Chinese martial art of Tai Chi Chuan under the guidance of Tiffany Chen, the daughter of Tai Chi Chuan master William C.C. Chen.
• Linda Lavin and Celia Weston do not share any scenes together. These actresses starred in the sitcom "Alice", which aired on the American CBS television network from 1976 to 1985.
• This is not Anne Hathaway's first film on the subject of the fashion industry. She also starred in David Frankel's comedy-drama "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006), where she played the role of a junior assistant to the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, played by Meryl Streep.
• In her first appearance in the film, Anne Hathaway's character speaks on the phone with a girl whose wedding is in 3 days and whose order has been mixed up. Hathaway assures her that everything will be fixed, calls the girl "Rachel," and wishes her an unforgettable wedding. The actress was first nominated for an "Oscar" award in the "Best Actress" category for Jonathan Demme's drama "Rachel Getting Married" (2008).
• In one of the film's episodes, Robert De Niro's character gives advice to a newcomer played by Jason Orley. The newcomer is nervous, as he may have to deliver an order to rapper Jay-Z. The newcomer asks on the phone: "Who-who?" - and hears in response: "Jay Z" - and declares that he hasn't heard of such a person. Only in response to the words "Beyoncé's husband" does he say: "Yes, I know her." It is quite likely that this episode reflects the more than strained relationship between Robert De Niro and Jay-Z since 2012.
• Initially, the film was to be produced by Paramount Pictures, with Tina Fey in the lead role.
• This is the third collaboration between Robert De Niro and Rene Russo. They previously starred together in Tom Dey's action-comedy 'Showtime' (2002) and Des McAnuff's adventure-comedy 'The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle' (2000).
• Linda Lavin and Celia Weston do not share any scenes together in the film. Both actresses starred in the sitcom 'Alice,' which aired on the American CBS television network from 1976 to 1985.
• In her first appearance in the film, Anne Hathaway’s character speaks on the phone with a woman whose wedding is in three days and whose order has been mixed up. Hathaway assures her that everything will be fixed, calls her 'Rachel,' and wishes her an unforgettable wedding. The actress received her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress for Jonathan Demme's drama 'Rachel Getting Married' (2008).
• In one scene, Robert De Niro’s character gives advice to a rookie played by Jason Orley. The rookie is nervous because he may have to deliver an order to rapper Jay-Z. The rookie asks over the phone, “Who-who?” and hears in response, “Jay Z,” to which he replies that he’s never heard of him. Only when told “Beyoncé’s husband” does he say, “Oh, I know her.” This episode likely reflects the strained relationship between Robert De Niro and Jay-Z since 2012.
