In a 2019 video for Yahoo Entertainment, Moore looked back at her career and recalled making Far From Heaven. Moore said at the time, "I love Dennis Quaid. We had a great time together. It was pretty great." She added, "I love Todd. I love him so much. We have a great working relationship, and I think just being with him every day, I was so happy every day going to work on that movie. Because it was such an incredible opportunity. There I was, playing a great character with a great director, at home — we shot it right outside of New York City — so it couldn't have been a better circumstance." Close
