It is rumored that this movie was based on the creator of Earth's Best Babyfood...  -Thanks to Annette DohertyMy Dad lives in Peru Vermont and his wife was the on set medical aid for all the actors' needs. Turns out Diane Keaton wasn't so maternal in those days and would do things like leave the baby on the bed and then walk away in scenes, and had to be reminded that she could roll off. So many of our friends had extras parts on the movie, Nancy Kirkpatrick who owned the Hapgood store was featured selling over the counter. The Cow that Diane milks in the movie was our own family pet, Appleblossom who got paid in bales of hay for her cameo role. Whenever I get homesick I just play the movie and it feels like I am there. It really captures the essence of rural vermont. even the quirky townsfolk like the plumber guy are so true of our little town. -Thanks to Sarah FoxThe twins who played baby Elizabeth now attended Salve Regina University in Newport RI. I went to school with them. -Thanks to ReaTV's Charlie's Angel, Kate Jackson, took over as Diane Keaton's character in the TV spin off, which was briefly a hit and I remember watching it on the NBC network. -Thanks to HawnguyChris Noth (Mr. Big on 'Sex and the City') has a quick scene as a yuppie visting Vermont who buys the applesauce Diane Keaton is selling to make ends meet. -Thanks to SaraVictoria Jackson briefly appears as the ditzy nanny, Eve, who ends up bringing some guy back to J.C.'s apartment. Mary Gross appears as J.C.'s secretary, Charlotte. Both women acted in various 80's movies. -Thanks to Jed TaylorJ.C's boyfriend in the movie is played by Harold Ramis who was Egon in Ghostbusters. -Thanks to Ricardo« Click here to add some Baby Boom trivia Rediscover your favorites!

Filming was done on location in Peru in Vermont (not the country!) and New York City. The restaurant in the scene between Diane Keaton's character and her boss is in the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles, California. (The ultra-moderne restaurant in Black and Grey) The Escalator scene in the beginning montage of the film, was the largest escalator in the world. Formerly housed under WTC towers in the PATH station. This escalator was destroyed on 9/11/01. FAO Schwartz is located on Fifth Avenue across from The Plaza Hotel (near the corner of Fifth and Central Park South) -- the big teddy bear can be seen outside. An FAO trademark. The Train Station where Diane Keaton's character meets her boyfriend after his "Boston Conference" is in Grand Central Station in the Amtrack Area of the station. "Hapgood's General Store" is still alive and well in Peru, VT. It is next to the Post Office and is pretty empty as far as stock goes. The new owner is very nice though. He gave me these directions to J.C.'s house: I you are looking at Hapgood's General Store from across the street, look left and you will see a fork in the road. Take the LEFT fork and follow all the way until after it turns into a dirt-like road. After that (about 1/2 mile or a little more) the road will come to a "T". There will be a barn/farm to your left. Take a RIGHT at that "T" and high up on a hill is the house used as J.C.'s house in Baby Boom. It is even still yellow. They have added onto the right side of it but you can still see the (2) dormered windows above the porch. [Thanks to Kenny Hicks] I tried to find JC's house. I took the left fork and went until I hit the dirt road. About a half mile from that there was a cross road (not a T) and there was a white building on the left- It looked like a barn or a grange. I turned to the right and went down that road. On the left were some houses that were a bit raised from the street, but did not look like JC's and on the right, farm land. Off in the distance on the right over the farmland on a high hill, was a house which was not yellow, but white, and had small dormers across the 2nd floor. There were 2 large windows in front instead of 2 on each side, as though it were remodeled. The road that looked like it was leading up to the house had a mailbox that said Echo Farm. This house really stood out to me because it was really visible and high up. I would like to know if it is the right house. [Thanks to Diane Hurd] Also used as a restaurant scene, was the old restaurant housed in the now-closed Ambassador Hotel (famed for the Robert Kennedy Assasination and the main hotel used in Tom Hank's That Thing You Do) in Los Angeles, CA. [Thanks to Jacq] We met the man who played the boyfriend Diane Keaton met when she walked in the dance and he told me that the dance was filmed in the Grange Hall next to the school in Manchester. [Thanks to James Shoop] Can you help? Do you know any of the Peru, Vermont filming locations used for Baby Boom? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Bill Conti's great power synth score is so typical of the era and, like many of his excellent works from this period was sadly never released. If you like David Foster's music in "The Secret Of My Success" then you would love this. The soundtrack just oozes eighties throughout the film. « Click here to add new music trivia for Baby Boom Soundtrack Available: Never On Any Format | |||||||||||||||||||||||
