In the film, Meredith Baxter, like Wadler a full-breasted woman, does not use a body double for the scenes involving breast examination. Actors play the doctors, but the close-up of a surgeon's hand examining Baxter's breast is that of a real physician."We all thought that was best," said Baxter, who is the movie's co-executive producer with Diana Kerew. "When I read the script, I never visualized it any other way except with me and my breast. We decided this well ahead of time, when we started talking about the approach (to Wadler's story). I didn't want to cut to some body double -this was about the whole woman. Breasts have achieved this dubious stature of being this symbol of femininity, and it's very important this story is about the whole woman."
