Trivia
Renee herself says the following:
I didn’t actually watch a lot of the scenes that [Kat Dennings] filmed, I think she may have asked that certain scenes not be open to the public or that I wasn’t there, which I respect wholeheartedly. It makes complete sense… it would be so hard to get into that space in front of the person you’re portraying, you know?
