“The fabulous Elle Fanning. We shot this scene 3 times. The first time there was all this stuff where Benjamin tried to do a headstand. The scene was just too long. So we cut it back to this. Then we ended up having a different actress play the grandmother, so we re-staged it. But always, Elle Fanning was ready and prepared. And amazing. She has this amazing life in her little face.” - David Fincher, Benjamin Button commentary
