Cher won the coveted "Best Actress" award at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival for her performance as Rusty Dennis. When Cher was cast in this movie, she wanted her then boyfriend, Val Kilmer, to play Gar, but he was rejected for being too young for the part. Director Peter Bogdanovich and Cher fought bitterly on-set, as Bogdanovich found Cher difficult and inexperienced. She also had difficulty sustaining whole takes without breaking character. Bogdanovich compromised by departing from his usual deep-focus, long-take photography by shooting her in close-up to capture her natural charisma, in particular, her sad eyes. According to Cher, this movie was shot in Rocky and Rusty Dennis' old neighborhood. One day she was walking down a street with Eric Stoltz (in make-up) and an old man yelled "Hi!" at Eric. He then said, "I'm so happy to see you, I heard you died." Cher says he was so happy that they didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. Eric Stoltz spent so much time under heavy make-up, that when he arrived for the post-production party, he had to present I.D. to security to prove that he was Eric Stoltz. Also, when he got there, he had to introduce himself to some of the cast and crew because many of them didn't know what he really looked like. Bruce Springsteen's music was chosen for several reasons. It was the real Rocky's favorite music, and it served to denote the passage of time. Springsteen wanted his music used in the original release, but the owners of his catalogue at that time could not agree on a royalty rate with the studio. The music was reinstated for the Director's Cut when Springsteen pushed for its inclusion.
