Broadcast News! A guy I know (father of my daughter's best friend) lived in the apartment that they used as Holly Hunter's apartment in that movie. The studio rented it from him and his roomies and put them up in a hotel while they filmed in their apartment. Holly Hunter apparently even has a scene where she's lying in his bed, so he jokes that Holly Hunter's been in his bed.
He's got some great stories about it, but he said that overall the experience sucked. The studio really took advantage of them and trashed the place. He wished they had held out for a lot more money or just said no.
