When Michelle Pfeiffer expressed interest in playing the part of Laura, Director Mike Nichols and Screenwriters Jim Harrison and Wesley Strick wanted to make the part stronger and more important to the story, as it was basically a "woman in danger" trope in the original script. Some of the ideas considered were making her into an animal rights activist or a doctor, both of which would have given her a connection to Jack Nicholson's character and expanded on her conflict with her rich father. Ultimately, Pfeiffer accepted the role without it being hugely upgraded because she wanted to work with Nicholson and Nichols.
