“The shoot was very long, and by the end of it I think they were the greatest goodbye hugs of all time,” director Cameron Crowe told Rolling Stone about filming the movie when Kate Hudson was 19.

“We were so happy to have gotten to the end of this journey, which took us all across the country — through rehearsals, and Billy learning guitar, and Kate being a side character and moving up to take the center of the movie, us finding Patrick at the last minute.”

Goldie Hawn’s daughter hadn’t made a name for herself until her role as Penny Lane.
“I was shooting in, um, in Ireland, another film at the time, and I kept flying back-and-forth to audition,” Hudson explained about working hard to get the part.
“I’ll never forget that phone call when I got the part. Yeah. Cause I was supposed to play a different role. I was supposed to play the sister.”
Zooey Deschanel ended up playing the part of William Miller’s (Patrick Fugit) rebellious older sister, Anita Miller.
“I have a moment in Rock School that felt like, I’ll never forget it. It might be something on my deathbed, like when your life flashes before your eyes … it was all of us in the room and Jason Lee (Jeff Bebe) was being a total doofus, funny guy, and Billy was, like, very serious and trying to figure out his thing, and we were all just having the most — I can’t explain how much fun it was but it just felt like a magical group of people,” Kate recalled about reading the script in Crowe’s office.
