John Leguizamo, Wesley Snipes and
Patrick Swayze as three "career girls" in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything,
Julie Newmar. The scene when the "girls" are mistaken for female basketball
players was filmed at the New Tower Inn in Omaha (now closed and replaced by a shopping
center).
Director Beeban
Kidron was in a race against time during the filming. She was five months pregnant at the
start of production. She wasn't about to rush through the film and was prepared to have
the baby in Nebraska and take a hiatus if necessary. She was able to complete all of the
Nebraska filming before the baby's arrival. The company wrapped in Lincoln and boarded a
flight to New York for the last night of filming. No sooner had the plane touched down in
New York that Kidron felt the onset of labor.
