Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was one of Mantle's final on-screen appearances before his liver transplant and death in 1995; he was already suffering from advanced osteoarthritis and hepatitis C at filming.
Dr. Xenakis became a minor cable TV fixture in the 80s-90s with his 'Feeling Good' health specials, essentially inventing the direct-to-VHS wellness grift before Goop existed.
