The role of Jeffrey was originally offered to Val Kilmer, who turned it down, describing the script he read as "pornography", although he says he would've done the version that finally made it to the screen.  The role of Frank was originally offered by Lynch to Harry Dean Stanton, who turned the part down, but has been in other Lynch offerings such as "Fire walk with me" and "Wild at heart". -Thanks to Dee NineteenLaura Dern is Bruce Dern's daughter and was once engaged to Nicholas Cage. David Lynch must have approved of Kyle McLachlan's acting style - he later gave him a long-running starring role as Agent Dale Cooper in 'Twin Peaks' Dennis Hopper was a star of the cult classic 'Easy Rider', alongside a very young Jack Nicholson -Thanks to Becky ParsonsKyle McLachlan starred in Lynch's 1984 version of DUNE. -Thanks to Ryan BartelyA big picture of Montgomery Clift can been seen hanging in Sandy's bedroom.

 Featured Movie Location: the apartment building she lived inWanna see the real life filming location used for the apartment building she lived in in the movie? These scenes were actually shot at The Carolina Apartments, located in Wilmington, North Carolina. [New! Show Google Map] The following locations are all in Downtown Wilmington NC. Our thanks to GG Jaeger! The (former) Ace Hardware store at the corner of Castle and Front Streets was the set for Jeffrey's father's hardware store. The building is now a neighborhood grocery convenient to the rest home next door. The Barbary Coast bar located on Front Street between Dock and Orange Streets was the exterior of the brothel, and on the DVD some unused footage shows Frank beating up a guy across the pool tables inside the actual Barbary Coast. The diner where Jeffrey and Sandy eat was at the corner of Chestnut and 4th streets, it is still standing but is now a Port City Java coffeehouse. The shady brick warehouse where Frank's gang meets is near the corner of Front and Wright Streets. It is still used for some filming of local TV shows like "One Tree Hill". The "Lumberton" police department interior and exterior was shot at the real Wilmington police department on Red Cross Street between Front and Second Streets. Can you help? Do you know any of the Wilmington, North Carolina (or any other) filming locations used for Blue Velvet? [Please send them in] | |||||||||||||||||||||||

Orbison didn't know about this till he saw the film in the theater. He eventually made a music video for the song that was produced by Lynch & used footage from the film. -Thanks to Stephanie« Click here to add new music trivia for Blue Velvet Soundtrack Available: On CD | |||||||||||||||||||||||
