DIRCAMEO(George Roy Hill): pilot that crashes into the house
The house that the plane crashes into was built at one end of the only runway at Lincoln Park Airport, a very small airstrip in Lincoln Park, NJ USA (about 35 miles NW of New York City). The wrecked house was not removed for several weeks. While no planes have hit houses in the vicinity, one did bounce off the roof of a passing car several years earlier.
Glenn Close plays Robin Williams's mother, yet she is only four years older than he.
