| 1 | * ActorSharedBackground: Laura Allen attended Wellesley and graduated with a sociology major. And after the film was criticised for its misrepresentation of the college and historical inaccuracies, she expressed regret about appearing in the film. |
| 2 | * DyeingForYourArt: |
| 3 | ** Kirsten Dunst, a natural blonde, darkened her hair to brown. |
| 4 | ** Julia Stiles, a natural brunette, lightened her hair to blonde. |
| 5 | * EnforcedMethodActing: All the actresses had to go through two weeks of finishing school to prepare for their roles. |
| 6 | * FakeAmerican: Like so many of his other roles, Dominic West is British playing an American. |
| 7 | * PlayingAgainstType: It was unusual at the time to have Kirsten Dunst play an AlphaBitch, though admittedly one who goes through CharacterDevelopment. |
| 8 | * RealLifeRelative: Julia Roberts was married to Daniel Moder, who was the film's second unit director. Dominic West felt quite awkward at filming love scenes with her while he was watching. |
| 9 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: It was reported that Chloe Sevigny was turned down for the role of Giselle because she was reeling from the backlash of ''Film/TheBrownBunny''. However, she actually turned the role down in favour of that film, finding ''Mona Lisa Smile'' "faux feminist". She didn't regret her decision after the film's critical thrashing. Creator/MelanieLynskey also auditioned for that and the role of Connie. |
