Pia Zadora was offered the role of Amber von Tussle but she was unable to commit due to scheduling conflicts. Writer-director John Waters was adamant that she appear in the film, so she cleared two days to shoot a cameo as the Beatnick Chick.

I am glad she wasn't Amber. I liked who we got.

Not sure. I tried looking it up but I couldn't find anything.

She was. This was her first movie and only her second acting job after a "Kate & Allie" the year before. She was great in the role and already seemed like a natural.
