| 1 | * CutSong: Music/PaulSimon, who wrote the score for the film, also wrote a title song, "Have A Good Time," but Creator/WarrenBeatty convinced Creator/HalAshby to ditch the song in favor of Music/TheBeachBoys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice," because Beatty was convinced Simon's song set up his character as being purely superficial, hence one-dimensional. In consequence, Simon included the song on his multi-Grammy winning ''Still Crazy After All These Years'' album instead. |
| 2 | * ExtremelyLengthyCreation: Creator/RobertTowne wrote (and continually rewrote) the screenplay for this film eight years before it was finally produced, |
| 3 | * IronyAsSheIsCast: Creator/JulieChristie, in real life an outspoken activist for various causes, playing a superficial gold-digger. |
| 4 | * RealitySubtext: The scene where [[spoiler:Jackie walks out on George]] was apparently based on what happened with Robert Towne and his then-girlfriend. |
| 5 | * RealLifeWritesTheHairstyle: In her 2016 autobiography, ''The Princess Diarist'', Creator/CarrieFisher reveals that because her character claims she had never had her hair done, her real-life hair was deemed too short and she had to wear a wig. However, the wig wasn't very convincing, and therefore a headscarf was added. |
| 6 | * RomanceOnTheSet: Creator/LeeGrant claimed in her 2014 autobiography that "everyone knew" Creator/GoldieHawn and Creator/WarrenBeatty were sleeping together, even though he was still involved with Julie Christie. |
| 7 | * SavedFromDevelopmentHell: Creator/RobertTowne and Creator/WarrenBeatty started working on the script in 1968, but it took years for them to find financing. One result was that even though it was meant to be a contemporary story originally, by the time they actually filmed it they just kept the 1968 setting and made it a period piece. |
| 8 | * TypeCasting: Notorious womanizer Creator/WarrenBeatty playing notorious womanizer George. |
| 9 | * WorkingTitle: When Creator/WarrenBeatty conceived idea for this film in 1967, it was called ''Hair'' (later changed to avoid confusion with [[Theatre/{{Hair}} the rock musical]]). |
| 10 | * WrittenByCastmember: Creator/WarrenBeatty co-wrote the script with Creator/RobertTowne. |
