Ramona and Dorothy are closer in the movie than Roselyn and Samantha are IRL

On-screen, the ‘hustlers’ frequently refer to each other as ‘sisters’ and ‘family’. This is especially evident in the mother-daughter-esque relationship between Ramona and Dorothy, who, without giving away any spoilers, share a fairly intense scene towards the end of the movie that proves their dedication to one another.

In real life? They reportedly weren’t the best of friends, according to an interview with Keo featured in Vulture, and were just co-conspirators in their scheme.

Keo followed up this sentiment in another interview for The Oprah Magazine, where she revealed that she wished Dorothy had “beat [Ramona’s] ass” at the end of the movie.

In the same interview, she went on to say “she [Barbash] has a strong character and personality, and so do I. We’re both alpha females that never stepped to each other. If we had to, we would, but it never came to that.”
