What's left behind the scenes

  • Joy Mangano invented the self-wringing Wonder Mop in 1990. Jennifer Lawrence, who played the role of Joy Mangano, was also born in the same year.
  • This is the fourth collaboration between Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. They previously starred together in "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012), "American Hustle" (2013), and "Serena" (2014).
  • The screenplay is based on the story of a real person, Joy Mangano. This Italian-American inventor and businesswoman gained fame for her miracle mops and hangers. Mangano is the president of "Ingenious Designs." She regularly appears on the "HSN" shopping channel. A graduate of Pace University in New York, Mangano has patented over a hundred inventions.
  • Filming took place in Boston, Massachusetts, and partially in Haverhill. In July 2015, Haverhill's business district was transformed into 1980s Dallas. Haverhill's concert hall served as the Dallas concert hall.
  • Upon joining the project, director David O. Russell added secondary characters to the plot and combined Mangano's story with those of other women who demonstrated courage and resourcefulness, fundamentally changing their lives. As a result, only the most general outlines of Mangano's real story remain in the film (her transformation from an ordinary woman forced to work to support her children into a successful entrepreneur). Thus, "Joy" cannot be considered a biography, despite initial assurances that it would be. Russell even admitted that he constantly postponed meeting Joy Mangano during the film's production precisely because he wanted to make the film his own way. He only communicated with the prototype of the main character by phone. Moreover, Joy's last name is never mentioned in the film, and the film's heroine, unlike Mangano, was not born in Smithtown on the north shore of Long Island, New York.
  • As shown in the film, Mangano sold over 18,000 miracle mops during her first hour on air on the "QVC" channel, proving her ability to work with people.
  • In reality, Joy Mangano graduated from Pace University, a private institution, in 1978 with a degree in "management." At the time of her graduation, she worked as a waitress and then in the advance ticket booking department of an airline.
  • After finishing filming in the role of Mimi, Diane Ladd agreed to provide the voice-over narration.
  • The character of Peggy, Joy’s half-sister, is fictional. It was created by the director and one of the screenwriters, David O. Russell.
  • The extravagant Terry, Joy’s mother, played by Virginia Madsen, has little in common with her real-life counterpart. She is, rather, a composite character incorporating traits of some people from Joy Mangano’s circle.
  • Tony Miranne, Joy’s ex-husband, played by Edgar Ramirez, studied with her at university. In the film, he is portrayed as a singer from Venezuela.
  • Judging by the film, the ill-fated red wine brought onto the yacht, after which Joy invented the miracle mop, was "Mouton Rothschild" wine branded by "Andy Warhol". In 2015, it was sold for around $400 a bottle.
  • "Joy" was the first film from "Annapurna Pictures" to receive a PG-13 rating (parental guidance suggested, some material may be inappropriate for children under 13) in the US and a 12A rating (children under 12 are admitted only when accompanied by someone aged 18 or over) in the UK.
  • The working title of the film was "The Baptism of Kay".
  • This is the second film by David O. Russell not to receive an R rating (under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian) after "Silver Linings Playbook" (2015). The director disowned "Silver Linings Playbook" amidst creative disputes and financial scandals.
  • When Joy prepares for her broadcast on "QVC", the screen shows makeup artists working on Lori Greiner, the "Queen of QVC", an inventor and television personality.
  • This is the third film by David O. Russell to feature Bradley Cooper, Robert De Niro, and Jennifer Lawrence together. They previously collaborated on his films "Silver Linings Playbook" (2012) and "American Hustle" (2013).
