When the film was in being planned by Paramount, executives thought that 'Kevin Spacey (I)' was too old to portray Bobby Darin, who died at 37, and wanted Leonardo DiCaprio instead.
Movie Goof (factual errors): Sandra Dee did not stay with Bobby in the hospital as he was dying. She was in an alcohol induced denial at home. She was passed out on the floor from drinking and the family had to break into the house to find her and notify her. In fact, Bobby's second wife was banished from his room because she could not hold her tears.
At one point, Barry Levinson wanted Johnny Depp for the lead role.
Movie Goof (anachronisms): During the touring montage, leading up to his Oscar nomination, Bobby Darin sings the song "Fabulous Places." However, this song is too late for the period of time: Darin was nominated for his Oscar in 1963, while "Fabulous Places" was written for the film musical Doctor Dolittle four years later.
