    once again, my favorite piece of wait, what? movie trivia: The cultured speaking voice that Debbie Reynolds provides for Jean Hagen in Singin' in the Rain is actually Jean Hagen's own speaking voice. (And the cultured singing voice is Betty Noyes's.)

    Iconic movie musical moments: Wizard of Oz: "Follow the yellow brick road." Singin' In The Rain: "What a glorious feeling I'm happy again." The Music Man: "You got trouble right here in River City." Emilia Perez: "Men to women from penis to vagina."

    The first essay we wrote in my intro film class was breaking down this scene from Singin' in the Rain, and I know it's not a fair comparison, but rewatching it now feels like a breath of fresh air. I particularly love how we get an almost two minute uninterrupted shot of them walking and talking

    In Singin' in the Rain, Debbie Reynolds plays an actress who is secretly dubbing the lines and songs for another movie actress. Ironically, in the movie, Debbie Reynolds herself has her voice dubbed in two different songs by the actress and singer Betty Noyes.

    My Gen Z friends looooved SINGIN' IN THE RAIN. That movie is hella cute, y'all. And it really struck me this time how in Debbie Reynolds' first scene, when Gene Kelly falls into her car, her feisty indignation is positively Princess Leiaian. I swear she almost calls him a scruffy nerfherder.

    Some of the ones I remember, just because I'm old and involve some of my favorite movies. Lionel Barrymore (Mr. Potter from It's a Wonderful Life) is Drew Barrymore's Great Uncle. Debbie Reynolds (Singin' in the Rain, God I love that movie) was Carrie Fisher's mom. I think everyone knows Dakota Johnson's parents, Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith. Shirley Maclaine (The Apartment and Two Mules for Sister Sara) is Warren Beatty's sister. And some cool but not duo-celebrity relative facts.…
