When Cukor picked Roz to play the most difficult comic part in the movie (the problem is to be funny and insanely vicious at the same time!) she said she couldn't do comedy. Everytime she did a scene in the beginning Cukor told her to 'make it broader, crazier...' she got so sick of him asking that she pulled out all the stops and played the role like a bug eyed maniac to shut him up and leave her alone. He cried out "THAT'S IT and she played it that way and a great comic was born.

No one else could have played Sylvia that well. She's practically a cartoon character, but manages to keep it just within the realm of reality.

In those days, they had no qualms about drugging horse If it was necessary to get the scene. Keep in mind that they had no reservations about drugging their stars either! It was the studio who got Judy Garland hooked on pharmaceuticals.

NO, that bite was emotionally TRAUMATIC for poor Paulette!. she died an EARLY death from deep depression AND extreme EMOTION, which caused the premature PHYSICAL illness/illnesses that she died from so young. OR, Rosalind Russell, died EARLY from those SAME causes, IF, Paulette Goddard subsequently attacked HER with bites AND punches, in retaliation. obviously, the Studio Moguls made it a WELL-KEPT secret, so, WE'LL never KNOW, except for the FACT that Paulette and Rosalind NEVER did another movie TOGETHER after 1939!. obviously, they were bitter ENEMIES after THAT!!. how could they NOT be?. that's FEMALE human NATURE, because it's LESS forgiveable to ANY woman to be BITTEN, and/or, HIT, by ANOTHER woman, than to SUFFER the same physical ASSAULTS by a MAN!!, even THOUGH, there are MANY times, when MEN do that to WOMEN, that the women even find THAT hard to forgive (or, FORGET!), BUT, it's in MOST male-female relationships, that WOMEN are more LIKELY to ''FORGIVE'' a MAN for doing THAT!, than another WOMAN!, because theres no COMPETITIVE gender-related grudge RIVALRY between opposite genders (just like MEN are LESS likely to FORGIVE EACH OTHER, after one of them LOSES a fight to another MAN!!) THAT'S human nature TOO!!!.
