The girl that plays Sara is a billionaire, and Wikipedia lists her occupation as heiress, so that's wild.
I loved this movie as a kid, and I always partnered it with The Secret Garden as sort of modern (at the time) live action fairy tales for kids in the 90s. It's not without its problems looking at it now. I still love it though.
