Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Anne Heche directed the 2000 segment while publicly dating Ellen DeGeneres, making their on-screen dynamic layered with meta-history.
The 1961 segment was inspired by real cases where same-sex partners were legally erased from their lovers' deaths; Redgrave's Oscar-nominated performance here was her first LGBTQ+ role since the 1977 film 'Julia.'
