Ann-Margret writes that she and Dame Julie Andrews were amazingly similar to the characters they were playing. While Ann-Margret was disorganized and messy, Andrews was "very much like Mary Poppins", always with a neat appearance and a tidy dressing room.
Dame Julie Andrews portrayed a woman named Audrey Grant. In Victor/Victoria (1982), Andrews portrayed the title character, Victoria Grant. Hugh Grant portrayed Andrews' son, James, and although his last name is never mentioned, logically, his character would be James Grant.
The closing credits dedicate this movie to the "108,731 people in the United States who have died" from A.I.D.S. According to the C.D.C., as of 2016, about six hundred seventy-five thousand people in the U.S. have died of H.I.V./A.I.D.S.
Dame Julie Andrews portrayed Hugh Grant's mother, using her usual voice, an upper crust British accent, while Grant, also British, portrays Andrews' son, with an American accent.
