Marilyn Monroe reportedly suggested the line "I can be smart when it's important, but most men don't like it."
This was Jane Russell's only film with Marilyn Monroe. They got along well. According to Russell's 1985 autobiography, she called Monroe "Blondie" and was often the only person on the set who could coax Monroe out of her trailer to begin the day's filming.
In the "Ain't There Anyone Here for Love?" sequence, Jane Russell's fall into the pool was an accident. When Howard Hawks saw the dailies, he kept it in the film.
When told she was not the star of the film, Marilyn was quoted as saying: "Well, whatever I am, I AM the blonde."
For this film Gwen Verdon coached stars Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe in both their dance and walk - Monroe with less sex, Russell with more. It's rumored that at one point in the film, Verdon dubs both Monroe's and Russell's swaying bottoms.
"Lorelei Lee: Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just because she's pretty, but my goodness, doesn't it help?"
"Esmond Sr.: Have you got the nerve to tell me you don't want to marry my son for his money? Lorelei Lee: It's true. Esmond Sr.: Then what do you want to marry him for? Lorelei Lee: I want to marry him for YOUR money."
