Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • All-Star Cast: See the main section.
  • The Danza: Eve Arden's character is named Eve, and Ann Miller's character is named Annie.
  • Enforced Method Acting: The cast was made to hang out for several weeks, and most of the banter in the movie came from that.
  • Hey, It's That Guy!: Who knew Lucy Ricardo and Connie Brooks were both struggling actresses before they hit it big?
  • Irony as She Is Cast: Katharine Hepburn had already won an Oscar when she was cast as the talent-free Terry Randall. She does get better, though.
    • Also, the little-known Andrea Leeds played Kaye Hamilton, considered by the others to be the best actress in the bunch.
    • Part of the reason Judy marries at the end is she realizes that her acting career is never going to go anywhere. Judy is played by Lucille Ball.
