In his interview and director's commentary on the DVD, Jean-Jacques Annaud said that after 15-year-old Christian Slater was cast as Adso of Melk, he was asked to read with three actresses auditioning for the role of "The Girl". He read with Valentina Vargas first and was scheduled to read with the other two actresses the next day. That evening, Slater sent his mother, casting agent Mary Jo Slater, to tell Annaud that he was so smitten with 22-year-old Vargas that he didn't want the other two women to be considered.
