Trivia for the film:[]
- Acclaimed Flop: Won two Oscars and was critically loved, but made little over $5 million (on a $18 million budget).
- Executive Meddling: Tim Burton had to endure a lot of studio pressure to get the film made. Arguably justified by the film's eventual financial failure.
- Hey, It's That Guy!/Hey, It's That Voice! Twofer: Orson Welles is played by Private Pyle and voiced by Brain.
- Drusilla is in Hollywood with her real accent but Spike is nowhere to be seen.
- Real Life Relative: Averted. Martin Landau stars and his daughter Juliet plays Loretta King but the two never share a scene or have any connection.
- What Could Have Been: An earlier version of the screenplay featured Wood's ultimately doomed marriage to Norma McCarty, which was depicted as ending the minute she found out he was a cross-dresser. (In reality, McCarty didn't exactly approve of his cross-dressing, but was willing to put up with it for the sake of their relationship. What really killed their marriage was Wood's alcoholism and abusive behavior towards her son from her previous marriage)
