Paul Rudd gave the cast/crew the most '90s wrap gift ever: personalized rice grain necklaces.
Paul Rudd: "What I got everybody was a necklace with — each person had their name written on a grain of rice. It was like the dumbest [gift]."
Dionne's hat was by a New York designer called Kokin, and you could buy them...meaning somewhere, someone besides Dionne was in fact wearing this hat.
Kokin, hat designer: "It was expensive and difficult to produce, and it was expensive and difficult to sell. But I made it a certain price for a certain woman who's got to have the look. I don't remember [how much it cost]. Whatever it is, now it's pennies."
