Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Salma Hayek fired Harvey Weinstein as producer and took a massive pay cut to keep creative control; he later punished her by nearly killing the film in editing.
Taymor's Day of the Dead skeleton puppets weren't just stylized — they referenced José Guadalupe Posada's original calavera prints that influenced Kahlo's own work.
