Trivia
  • Cameo: [Hector Elizondo] Justice of the Peace
  • # # Barbara Hershey had collagen lip injections to make herself look younger (she was 40 at the time and was playing Hilary from college age to mid-thirties).
  • A planned television movie sequel, starring `Barbara Eden` in the Bette Midler role, was never filmed.
  • The library where Barbara Hershey researches her disease in is called Dennison Library. It is located at Scripps College, a competitive women`s liberal arts college in Claremont, California. The library was originally designed to be a chapel before becoming a library, which is why it has such a unique and beautiful look
  • The title comes from a quote from "The Princess Bride": "If your love were a grain of sand, mine would be a universe of beaches."
  • The song about Otto Titsling, the inventor of the brassiere, was first introduced by Bette Midler on a 1986 album called "Mud Will Be Flung Tonight."
  • Taylor Neff was considered for the role of Hillary Whitney Essex (age 11).
  • SPOILER: The disorder Barbara Hershey develops is known as, "Viral Cardiomyophathy". The most common cause of this disorder is infection from the, "Coxsackie B" virus, which drastically weakens the heart, eventually keeping it from pumping the sufficient amount of blood necessary to keep the patient alive. As depicted in the film, it truly is fatal in all reported cases.
