Dunsts character is the most rebellious and flirtatious of the Lisbon sisters played by A.J.
I remember once, he was like, Oh, I think you bit me.
And I was like, Oh my God.
I was so mortified, she said.
And one time his wig got weird.
I just was very innocent and that was a lot for me.
Dunst noted that Coppola tried to mitigate some of the awkwardness for her on set.
I mean, Sofia played music so it would be a little bit more relaxing," she recalled.
“I think she played the music thats actually in the movie, as I remember.”
(The song that plays during the scene is Hearts Crazy on You.)
It was just a mess."
