Wendy: Violet, that is so cute! Now lemme tell you about me. My name is Wendy and I first moved to New York when I was 21 to be a dancer, but I broke my big toe and then I got knocked up by this actor who dumped me to join the Peace Corps, so for the last 16 years I been raising my daughter all by myself and then two weeks ago, she tells me that she is a bisexual and that she hates me more than any person on this planet.
(chuckles)
Wendy: Now tell me how I can help you, please, because I am dying to make *your* dreams come true.
- Jessica Simpson went through many auditions for the lead character, but dropped out when filmmakers refused to take out the sex scene. Most of the sex scene was cut from the finished film anyway.
- LeAnn Rimes did all of the singing for Piper Perabo.
- Carol Ann Susi, who plays the voice of Mrs. Wolowitz on _"The Big Bang Theory" (2007)_ appears in the bar bidding on Violet's father in the final scene.
- "Coyote ugly" refers to waking up after a one-night stand and discovering that the person beside you is so ugly that you would gladly gnaw off any limb they are sleeping on, just to get away without being discovered.
- Inspired by the GQ magazine article "The Muse of the Coyote Ugly Saloon" by now famous author Elizabeth Gilbert where she describes her experiences as a former Coyote bartender
