In an appearance on theTodayShowon Wednesday, March 5, 2025, Posey said one of her memories of making the film came courtesy of a canine co-star: the poodle who starred alongsideJennifer CoolidgeandJane Lynch.“I remember the poodle that Jennifer Coolidge and Jane Lynch had was fired,” Posey, 56, said onToday. “Yeah, she was behaving badly.”

Posey continued, “And somewhere I have some tape, because I filmed the poodle auditions at the Sutton Place hotel in Toronto, that stands out.”

In the film, Lynch played the poodle’s trainer, while Coolidge played the poodle’s owner, a spacey woman married to a wealthy man who ultimately falls for Lynch’s character instead.

Posey, meanwhile, played the role of a young urban professional who, along with her equally neurotic husband, owns a Weimaraner.

“We’d huddle and watch the monitors,” she continued. “You know, it’s improvised, so what you’re bringing happens live. And it takes like, just a few minutes to shoot. So it was a complete joy to be a part of those movies.”
