Kathryn Harrold, who plays the mother of Eileen (Vinessa Shaw) in this movie, also portrayed Shaw's character's rich mom in Ladybugs (1992).
During the scene when Christie (Amy Smart) is sitting in on a recording session of a band, presumably King Harvest, playing the song "Singing in the Moonlight", she suggests to her music producer boyfriend that "Dancing in the Moonlight" would sound better. In reality, the song "Dancing in the Moonlight" never had any other title. In fact, before King Harvest recorded the song and made it a hit, the band Boffalongo recorded and released it first under the same title. There's no evidence that writer Sherman Kelly wrote it with any other lyrics in the chorus.
The company that Eileen works for, and which she eventually sues for sexual discrimination, is referred to throughout as "D,C and H." We learn those letters stand for "Dewey, Conham, and Howe" - an ancient joke-name for a law firm (along with its variations "Dewey, Cheatam and Howe" and "Cheatam and Steele").
First aired on NBC a year after The '60s (1999). Although The '70s (2000) also covers the major events of an entire decade through the eyes of a tight-knit group of characters, none of the characters from The '60s (1999) ever make an appearance in The '70s (2000), and visa versa. Jeffrey Alan Fiskin co-wrote the story and teleplay for both miniseries, but only he and producer Jim Chory were the only major talent involved in both productions.
