0In the classic comedy "Dumb and Dumber", there is a memorable fantasy sequence where Jim Carrey's character, Lloyd, imagines himself with the beautiful Mary Swanson, played by Lauren Holly. But did you know that the entire scene was completely ad-libbed? Here are four more facts about this hilarious moment:
The scene was shot in one take: Director Peter Farrelly loved the improvisation so much that he didn't want to ruin it by shooting multiple takes.
Jim Carrey's reaction was genuine: The original script called for Lauren Holly to simply turn away, but instead, she gave Carrey a seductive glance that caught him off guard.
The scene was inspired by "The Graduate": The shot of Mary's leg was an homage to a similar shot in the classic film "The Graduate".
Lauren Holly was nervous: Holly had only been on set for a few days and was nervous about performing opposite Carrey, but the ad-libbed scene helped her relax and have fun.
