Cast

Trivia

  • Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton were all born within 45 days of each other, and celebrated their 50th birthdays together while filming this movie.
  • "The First Wives Club" is the second time that Diane Keaton and Jennifer Dundas (Lowe) have played mother and daughter. The first time was in "Mrs. Soffel" in 1984, when Dundas was still being billed as Jennie Dundas.
  • Jon Stewart
    had a small part in the film but it was left on the cutting room floor.
  • When the three ladies meet after the funeral, they are talking about Elise's plastic surgery. Elise says (Elise doesn't say this; Brenda says the line when asking Elise how much surgery she got done, and she asks if she just got a little or the full enchilada), "I got the whole enchilada." This line was originally "I got the whole Ivana," but was changed once Ivana Trump was cast in a cameo.
  • Hugh Wilson cast his daughter, Cannon, for the crew of the commercial that Morty is shooting when they come kidnap him.
  • Doctors created Goldie Hawn's simulated collagen treatment by injecting her lips with a harmless saline solution. Though temporary, Hawn later remarked in interviews that the experience was quite painful and that it had discouraged her from ever getting collagen for real.


  • In an interview, Bette Midler mentioned that all three main cast members wanted to make a sequel, but the studio was not agreeable, as they viewed the success of this film as a "fluke". Midler also said that just before the movie opened, she was told it would not do very well because the film was competing against action movies with male stars such as Bruce Willis
    . This film opened at number one and out-grossed those action movies.
  • Theatrical trailer features snippets of scenes that were not included in the final film.
  • Timothy Olyphant
    's screen debut.
