She detailed learning invaluable lessons by observing the entire film crew on set, describing it as her "film school."
Falk highlighted a particularly close friendship that blossomed with co-star Winona Ryder, who portrayed Veronica Sawyer. Their bond grew so strong that Falk accompanied Ryder to auditions for *Bram Stoker's Dracula*, even auditioning herself at Francis Ford Coppola's winery. She also described her on-set relationships with other cast members, noting Kim Walker's intense presence and Shannen Doherty's assertive personality.
