I would alway choke up on this seen and always wondered if the little girl playing Diana's sick sister was truly acting or if she was really crying hysterically in this scene? At such a young age she did such a good job portraying someone who is really sick and in pain. Any thoughts...
Yeah, I remember Kevin Sullivan saying in the DVD commentary that they brought the little girl (her name is Morgan) on the set on a very hot summer day. She had never had any experience being on a movie set, and those tears were real. She was very upset for some reason--I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it was the heat and the fact that she was overwhelmed by what was going on around her.
Kevin Sullivan says she was a hit at her elementary school after that, though. :)
That was some of the best child acting I've ever seen. I knew those tears were real but I thought they probably told her that her dog died before they started shooting or something.
