Sharon Stone auditioned for the role of Corrine. Jeffrey Bloom showed interest in casting her, but the producers opposed to it.
According to Kristy Swanson, she and Louise Fletcher received scripts for "Petals on the Wind" (the next book in the series) but the film never got off the ground. Swanson has described it as "all sex".
Kristy Swanson's skirt caught fire between scenes while she was resting against a propane heater. As there was only one skirt, the wardrobe department had to fix the damage.
Located in Ipswich, Massachussets, the Castle Hill estate, also known as the Crane estate, served as the setting for the fictional Foxworth Hall estate. The exterior shots were filmed on location, but all the interior shots were filmed in a sound stage. The estate was also used in another 1987 film, The Witches of Eastwick (1987), as Jack Nicholson's character's home.
According to Kristy Swanson, when she was introduced to Virginia C. Andrews, the elderly author said that Swanson was "just as she pictured Cathy".
Virginia C. Andrews: the author of the novel appears as a maid cleaning a window, just after 0:44:23. She died before the movie's release. Tribute is paid to her in the end credits.
