What's left behind the scenes
- All the actors and actresses were instructed to write the songs they would perform in the film themselves.
- All the songs heard in the film were recorded live, not pre-recorded in a studio.
- Initially, director and producer Robert Altman (1925-2006) wanted Susan Anspach (1942-2018) to play the role of Barbara Jean, but her financial demands were considered excessive. The entire film crew was already in Nashville, and the role of Jean still hadn't been filled, so at the last moment Altman offered it to Ronee Blakley, who was working as a backing vocalist in Nashville at the time and who had written several songs for the film. As a result, Blakley was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
- The film owes its existence to a proposal made to Robert Altman, which he rejected. He was initially offered a script on a completely different subject, set in Nashville. He turned down the project, but the setting interested him. He sent screenwriter Joan Tewkesbury to Nashville to see what it was like and take notes, and she returned with a whole journal of entries that formed the basis of the script. After that, the actors themselves made changes to some scenes or suggested new ones, as happened when working on all of Altman's films.
- Upon seeing herself in the scene depicting a traffic jam, Barbara Harris (1935-2018) reportedly jumped up, dashed out of the screening room, went home, and asked Robert Altman to come to her immediately for an important conversation. Harris disliked her performance in the scene so much that she asked Altman to reshoot it and even offered to pay for the reshoot out of her own pocket. Altman refused.
- All the musicians shown in the film were actually working in Nashville at the time of filming.
- Robert Altman instructed actress Gwen Welles (1951-1993) to take singing lessons before filming.
- The role of Rhetta was written for Louise Fletcher (1934-2022), who had deaf parents and, consequently, knew sign language. However, the role was ultimately played by Lily Tomlin. Tomlin later claimed that it all worked out because she herself had been offered the role of a nurse in Miloš Forman’s (1932-2018) drama 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' (1975), which she turned down, and Fletcher ended up playing the role – essentially, they had simply swapped roles.
