Trivia Originally the film was to feature Ann recording tapes for her father and for Dr. Thompson, in which she forgives her father for being absent during her childhood, and tells Dr. Thompson that his seeing patients as people isn't a bad thing before thanking him for keeping her impending death a secret. The ending montage was also supposed to feature a video clip of Ann's dad making shoes for his granddaughters from prison with tears in his eyes. These things never even made it to the filming stage, probably because of the length of the production itself. See more »
Goofs When Ann the neighbor is talking about the conjoined twins, she says one was a girl and the other was a boy. Conjoined twins are formed from the same egg, so is generally understood that both twins should be of the same gender. However if the egg is fertilized by a male sperm but during cell division only the X chromosome is duplicated it could result in monozygotic twins of different sexes . This results in one normal male (XY) and one female with Turner syndrome. See more »
