Melissa admitted that she was shocked when she received a call from director, John Davis who happens to be a long-time family friend. "It was David's idea. I literally one day got a call saying David O. Russell would like to meet you. Huh? What?"

She describes being transformed into her mother "bizarre." "I think I was more freaked out in the hair and makeup tests than I was once I got on set," Rivers said. "It was bizarre. I stopped looking in a mirror."

The daughter of the famed host and comedian goes on to say that she had the most wonderful time on set. Adding, she hoped that she captured her mom's kindness and sense of humor.
