The orphanage director, Mrs. Cadbury, is played by Megan Follows's mother.
The scene where Anne and Marilla are walking back from Mrs. Lynde's after Anne's theatrical apology was the very first to be filmed.
A lot of the scenes, mainly long shots, were made before any of the characters were cast.
Katharine Hepburn was originally approached to play Marilla Cuthbert. She declined, but suggested her great-niece, Schuyler Grant for the role of Anne.
