Filming was done in my Aunt's house
Just thought I'd drop a note to give fans some details of the filming of this movie. Caroline's house was my Aunt's house in Minneapolis, MN (I'd rather not give the exact address). The filming lasted 3 weeks and my Aunt, Uncle and cousins had to move out during that time. All of their belongings we're placed into storage and other furniture was brought in. They even go as far as putting up removable wallpaper to complete a room. Even though my Aunt's house was the main focus, the entire blocked help make the movie. Everyone agreed to decorate their houses again for the holidays and in the New Years party scene, those are all neighbors who stood-in for fun.
At the time I was 15 years old and everyday after school I walked to my Aunt's house to watch filming. It was the neatest thing I've ever seen. It was between winter/spring in MPLS but we had no snow. The snow you see on the roofs is paper cut-outs and the snow on the ground was sprayed there from a hose. I was able to witness many scenes be filmed and on March 5, 1992 I met Christian. I followed him to his trailer after a scene, he turned around and said "Well hello there" with a big smile. Because I had never met a star before I was completely shocked and couldn't get one word out of my mouth. I think he knew I was star-struck. :)
I enjoyed the movie when I finally saw the finished product but I can’t say I loved it. Because it has a family connection it is in my movie collection, and I watch it from time to time, but I am glad to hear it’s touched so many others.
