FILM 1901: STRIPTEASE



FILM 1901: STRIPTEASE 

TRIVIA: Demi Moore was called back to re-shoot some scenes, and had to wear a wig since she had already shaved her head for G.I. Jane (1997).

Demi Moore was paid $12.5 million for this film, a record fee for an actress at the time. The film was more popular in overseas theaters than in American theaters.

Underwent last minute editing when preview audiences laughed at the wrong parts.

Burt Reynolds was not originally actually sought by the production for the part of politician Dave Dilbeck. Reynolds wanted the part badly and so contacted Castle Rock studio head Rob Reiner personally and went to Miami, Florida to audition. He took a pay cut considerably lower than to what he had received during the heyday of his career.

The little girl who plays Demi Moore's daughter in the movie is actually her real life daughter, Rumer Willis.

Demi Moore had no fewer than eight assistants on the film - one for make-up, a hairstylist, a costumer, a personal assistant, a personal trainer, a motion trainer and two security personnel.

A "loop group" in New York City recorded the background voices for various scenes. The actors are included in residual payments.

Coincidentally, bit player Frances Fisher (Donna Garcia)'s real-life daughter Francesca Eastwood dated Harry Morton, who also dated Demi Moore and Rumer Willis.

CAMEO: Michael Jordan: Appears as himself as a patron in the strip club in the scene where Erin Grant (Demi Moore) meets Lt. Al Garcia (Armand Assante) after one of the dancers says "Michael Jordan is at table 8" in original theatrical. The name in this line was changed and Michael Jordan's name is uncredited.
