Trivia
In 2013, while James Franco was promoting the Korine-directed Spring Breakers, Franco asked David Letterman to comment on the rumor that Korine had been banned from appearing on Letterman's talk show during the late 1990s. After demurring, Letterman finally confirmed that Korine had indeed been banned, and revealed the reason why: Meryl Streep was also a guest on the same day that Korine was scheduled to be on, and Letterman said that he "went upstairs to greet Meryl Streep and say 'welcome to the show,' and I [knock on the door]...and she was not in there. And I looked around, and I found...Harmony going through her purse. True story. And so I said, 'Okay, that's it, put her things back in her bag and then get out.'".
