"Bowery Dawn" marked the film debut of the actress Glenne Headly ("Dick Tracy", "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels").
"Bowery Dawn" has the distinction of including in its interior locations the residences/work spaces of two of the 1960s most iconic "downtown" figures: the Great Jones Street loft of theater director John Vaccaro (1929-2016); and the Greene Street loft of legendary underground filmmaker Jack Smith (1932-1989).
