Nastia Liukin
, has a cameo in this film. She was chosen to win the uneven bar competition.

d.
MGM vied for the rights to film "Show Boat" as early as 1938 (Universal Studios had owned the rights to the musical since 1929, and had made their own film version of it in 1936). MGM had hopes of starring the reigning operatic duo of
Nelson Eddy
and
Jeanette MacDonald
in the roles of Gaylord and Magnolia. but when that didnt happen, they showcased new stars
Tony Martin
and
Kathryn Grayson
- in a kind of screen test as Ravenal and Magnolia in the Kern film biography
Till the Clouds Roll By
(and Grayson did eventually appear in the 1951 "Show Boat"). The third lead in the film, the biracial Julie, was considered at various times for
Judy Garland
,
Dinah Shore
, and
Lena Horne
. Shore, although not a major film star, did have a somewhat exotic visage at the time - her hair and eyes were very dark, and she did almost as many blues and torch songs as a band singer in the 1940s as did Garland. Horne mentions in her biography that she wanted to do the role of Julie badly, but only got as far as performing a single number in the "Clouds" film in the opening "Show Boat" vignette. America, after all, was still a segregated nation in 1950. Interracial romance was still taboo on screen - and Julie kisses and romantically interacts with her white husband several times.

Katharine Hepburn
as a gift. He had 200 lithographs made of the painting and sent one to every person who worked on the film. Each copy was numbered and personally signed by Fonda thanking each person by name. In her autobiography, Hepburn wrote that she gave the painting to screenwriter
Ernest Thompson
. After Fondas death, she found the painting to be a sad reminder of him and
Spencer Tracy
.
