Fatal Attraction (film)/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Focus Group Ending: The original ending wasn't that well-liked (at least in America. A Japanese version exists with the original ending).
  • Playing Against Type: Up to this point in her career, Close had played warm, fuzzy, earth-mother women and gotten nominated for Oscars three times. This was a radical change—so radical, in fact, that she got stuck playing similar characters for a while.
  • Retroactive Recognition: A 16-year-old Jane Krakowski is babysitting for the Gallaghers in the beginning of the film
  • What Could Have Been: The original ending (which is shown in the Japanese version) had Alex commit suicide to make it look like Dan did it and Dan getting arrested for Alex's "murder." Dan's wife then finds Alex's note on tape that reveals the whole thing was a suicide and goes to the police about it.
