FILM 1132: DESPERATELY SEEKING SUSAN

TRIVIA: Suzanne Vega auditioned for the role of Susan.

Diane Keaton was briefly considered for the part of Roberta, while Goldie Hawn was considered for the part of Susan. A combination of Orion Pictures wanting to keep the budget under $5 million and director Susan Seidelman wanting to work with newcomers ultimately led to the casting of Rosanna Arquette and Madonna.

Bruce Willis auditioned for the part of Madonna's boyfriend in the film, but the part was given to Robert Joy.

Madonna was trying to lose weight, or rather not to gain any. So when the script called for her to be eating, she'd spit out the food at the end of the take.

Camel withdrew a sponsorship of $5,000 because of the scene where Dez (Aidan Quinn) tells Roberta (Rosanna Arquette) that she "should stop smoking".

The second-hand clothing store that Susan and Roberta go to is called "Love Saves the Day" and is in Greenwich Village in New York City. As of 2007, the store is still there, selling used clothing as well as both new and used toys.
