Nancy Cartwright said in recent radio interviews and through her Facebook live page that "75% of the movie happened to me...It was [in 19] 85, I was studying Fellini La Strada in my acting class and I had done every scene; and I realised you know, I could probably do this as a one woman show...that was my intention, cutting to the chase I got his address and took off to meet Fellini, but I wanted to take in the culture... so I ate, drank, fell in love, I made notes, I kept pictures of people along the way... by the time I had finished my journey, I had done everything, I had fallen in love, I'd almost got raped ...it was wild"
