She told him quite simply that she knew how she was going to play the role and that was how her performance was going to be - and it was up to him to steer her in the right direction and tweak her slightly, or else he'd be better off getting another actress.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece:
** All the gizmos Tess puts in her purse and has to juggle on a daily basis would definitely not have been included had the film been made in TheNewTens. Even just entering the next decade, she would have had a single smartphone to replace all of it, which might have made the theme of her workaholism keeping her away from her family harder to convey.
** Anna's band is also quite reminiscent of the PopPunk and PopRock styles that were cool during the early 2000s. Even her whole outfit is a dead ringer for Music/AvrilLavigne and her style at the time.
** The House of Blues venue featured in the movie has moved to a different, though close, address since the movie was made.

* FollowTheLeader: This film inspired a lot of other body switch stories in the 80s.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Jodie Foster was originally going to be cast as Princess Leia in ''Film/StarWars'' at a point where George Lucas wanted to make the character significantly younger. Then it was discovered she was still under contract to Disney. Although there may have been a way to break the contract, Foster's mother decided to honour it and she starred in this film instead.
** Jodie Foster also learned how to water ski, training for three days, only to discover that the relevant scenes would be performed in front of green screen - and professionals were to be used as stunt doubles in long shots.
