* A meta case, but apparently, the director tried to make the Lily/Nina rivalry seem more authentic by pitting Mila Kunis and Natalie Portman against each other... Except this utterly backfired, because instead of getting angry or competitive, the women would simply congratulate each other, as they were friends even before the shooting.
* Another meta case, A guy gets asked by Thomas if he would do Nina, and answers no. His actor, Benjamin Millepied, and Nina's actor, Natalie Portman, [[RomanceOnTheSet fell in love on set]] and are now married with a son.

* Despite being film powered by horrific implications left and right, Lily's CoolBigSis moments are lovely and just what the increasingly fragile Nina needs.

** It's also worth noting that rather than discomfort, awkwardness, or disgust, her reaction to finding out Nina had an EroticDream about her is seeming incredibly flattered. It's also a CrowningMomentOfFunny, but it's sweet that Lily doesn't mind that Nina may or may not have a thing for her, and apparently doesn't let it affect her efforts to be Nina's friend.
