In the Special Edition DVD Documentary, Estelle Parsons says she was the only member of the cast who actually researched the history of the Barrow Gang. She also says that early in the filming, she wanted to meet the real Blanche Barrow, but Warren Beatty, in his capacity as the producer, was against the idea. Finally, after a week, Warren relented and set up a meeting with Blanche, but at that point, Parsons lost interest and never met Blanche. In fact, Warren Beatty brought the script to Blanche for her to read for her approval before she would give permission to use her name. She agreed the script was factual and approved it. While there, he played the piano and sang for her. She was very fond of Warren, even though the director completely changed the script to make her look like, in her own words, "a screaming horse's ass." She took her third husband Eddie to see the movie with her for the first time and nearly died of embarrassment.
