During a 1984 reunion of the cast of The Exorcist on Good Morning America (1975), Ellen Burstyn told a story of when she was in Tucson, Arizona filming Alice non abita più qui (1974) and The Exorcist was opening in that city while she was there so she went to see it. She stated that the scene where Regan has her arteriogram (the scene where Regan gets an arterial catheter inserted into her neck) was the part where most people fainted. After that scene, she saw a woman wobbling up the aisle so Ms. Burstyn followed her. When the woman finally fainted, Ms. Burstyn was at her aid, loosening her collar and talking to her. Then the woman began to come to and Ms. Burstyn realized that if this woman opened her eyes and saw her, this might cause the woman to panic. Ms. Burstyn's exact words were that she might think she was in the Twilight Zone or something. So, Ms. Burstyn asked assistance from another person to help the woman recover.
