Krause inspired the scene in which Starling stands beside her car crying, suggesting it as an emotional release from the overwhelming pressures of her work.” “The real FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit assisted with the film, ensuring its portrayal of the FBI's profiling work was accurate.” “The production received full cooperation from the FBI, who saw the film as a potential recruitment tool to attract more female agents.”Ver libro
