The film was initially shot with British actor Anthony Bushell as Pierre, but he was replaced by March at Eagels' insistence.[2] Supporting actress Hilda Moore died before Jealousy was released, while the film's star, Jeanne Eagels, died of an overdose of chloral hydrate one month after the film was released.[3]
