Rita Marlowe was named after actresses Rita Hayworth and Jean Harlow; the surname Marlowe is also an homage to 16th century playwright Christopher Marlowe, who wrote the 1604 drama "The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus", which loosely inspired the original play this film was based on.
Although uncredited, if the woman promoting Tres Chic, (one of the very funny, tongue-in-cheek) fake adverts in the film's beginning sounds/looks familiar, that's because it's Majel Barrett; a pre-'number one'/nurse Christine Chapel from Star Trek (1966).
The radio announces Rita Marlowe has just completed a picture with Cary Grant mere moments before the appearance of Betsy Drake (Jenny Wells), who was married to Grant at the time.
Rita Marlowe (Jayne Mansfield)'s screen credits are the titles of Mansfield's films The Girl Can't Help It (1956), Kiss Them for Me (1957) and The Wayward Bus (1957).
Mamie Van Doren turned down the role of Rita Marlowe because it was a spoof on Marilyn Monroe and Van Doren was continuously getting compared to her.
"Rock Hunter: Of course, the great thing about television is that it lets you see events live as they happen, like old movies from thirty years ago."
"Rock Hunter: That's right Sweetie, I'm president of Rita Marlowe Productions, Incorporated, but Miss Marlowe is the titular head."
