Allen stated, "She's wonderful. She came in with a lot of other women that read and she's the spitting image of her [mother] and she was just good... I thought she was so good that I combined her part. There was another part too and when I gave her the role, then I dropped the other character out of the movie and worked it so that she could have a double role, so could appear more frequently 'cause she was impressive… She projects intelligence because she's intelligent."
