FILM 1741: MAID IN MANHATTAN
TRIVIA: The film is loosely based
around a true story. In 1959, Steven Rockefeller, son of New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller,
married Anne-Marie Rasmussen, a maid who had worked at his family's Manhattan
hotel.
The pink gown that Jennifer Lopez
wears to the fund-raising dinner, is a vintage gown from the 1950s. This was
stated by Jennifer to a contestant auditioning on American Idol, season
fourteen. The contestant told J. Lo she was a big fan of her and the movie, and
tried to find a duplicate of that same gown for her prom, but was unable to
find one.
Story Writer John Hughes requested
that his name be removed from the credits, as the finished product had very
little of his original script, which was set in Chicago. His pseudonym
"Edmond Dantès" comes from the title character of The Count of Monte
Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. Hughes used the same credit in Beethoven (1992)
and Drillbit Taylor (2008).
