Shelleys part in Irreconcilable Differences was loosely inspired by Polly Platt , the Academy-Award nominated production designer. The movie dealt with a director (played by Ryan ONeal ) leaving his wife (played by Shelley) for a starlet (played by Sharon Stone ). In real life, director Peter Bogdanovich divorced his wife Platt to be with starlet Cybill Shepherd. When Platt was asked about Irreconcilable Differences , her answer was: "They got more right than wrong".
Shelley Long, who played Carol Brady in the 90s Brady movies, is 15 years younger than Florence Henderson -- both were born and raised in Indiana. Shelley grew up in Fort Wayne and Florence in Dale, IN.
