Trivia Tropes

• The Cameo: Lana Turner as an actress in The Royal Rascal early in the film.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Zelda Zanders is played by a very young Rita Moreno.
• Star-Making Role: For Debbie Reynolds, who was 19 when this movie was made. Invoked by the studio, who felt she was ready to be pushed to the next level of stardom. As Singin lore reveals, it was a bumpy ride for her.
  • Despite the fact that Reynolds and Gene Kelly's characters (eventually) became sweethearts on screen, in reality the two actors did not get along very well and frequently bumped heads.

Non-trope Trivia

• Singin' in the Rain received a tip of the hat from a Japanese animator in 2013 when a video entitled "Gisoku no mōzesu" ("Moses with prosthetic feet", roughly) appeared on YouTube, which features a Cute Ghost Girl with Fog Feet teaming up with a pair of possessed shoes (who seem to embody Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor) to dance to "Moses Supposes", against a backdrop of the film's set.
