7. Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest make memorable turns as Sally and Gilly’s aunts Frances and Jet, with Channing recalling most of their conversations centered on the looks of their elder witches.

“I remember a makeup and hair test that didn’t work out because I wasn’t wearing much makeup,” Channing told Vulture in 2020. “We came up with the idea together: ballet makeup.” This meant black lipstick and long, curly wigs, because “the more eccentric it was,” Channing explained, “the more it worked.”

“We just went way out on a limb with the crazy fabrics and clothing,” she recalled. “That very female, feminine thing, lots of beads and jewelry.”

9. Channing lied about speaking French in order to secure a free trip to Paris to dub the movie for its release in France. 

In hindsight, it was “one of the stupidest things I’ve ever done in my entire life,” Channing admitted to Vulture. “I’m sure the minute I left, they hired someone else to do it right. But I made a real horse’s ass of myself.”
