a.		The invented language used in the film is called Thaihindi.
b.		Apart from Richard Aldrich, a certain amount of dramatic license was taken with the men in Gerties life. In the movie, her first, stage manager husband is called Jack Roper and is shown as not much older than her. In real life, his name was Frank Gordon-Howley and he was twenty years her senior. Her upper-class, Guardsman boyfriend was not called Sir Tony Spencer, but Captain Philip Astley; he later married Madeleine Carroll. And the Wall Street banker she met while on Broadway was named Bert Taylor, not Ben Mitchell as depicted here.
c.		Film debut of Sunset Carson (billed as "Michael Harrison").
d.		The Hunchback of Notre Dame is the 34th full length animated film from Walt Disney.

2.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		Ballard Berkeley is credited by several sources as having been in the movie, but does not actually appear.
b.		During the premiere in Amsterdam, a woman pretended to interview Hugh Grant but ended up handcuffing herself to him, and walking the red carpet with him.
c.		The films music is scored by Leonard "Hub" Hubbard - the bass player of Grammy Award winning hip hop band The Roots.

3.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		The scene where Joe accidentally closes the door of Kathleens shop on the balloons was unscripted. Tom Hanks actually did that, and ad libbed the line, "Good thing it wasnt the fish." The director thought it was so funny that she kept it in.
b.		Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling were both born in London, Ontario, Canada. Walt Whitman , quoted in the classroom scene ("Do I contradict myself?") and other parts of the movie, had a long friendship with 19th century London, Ontario, psychiatrist Dr. Maurice Bucke, which was depicted in the film Beautiful Dreamer .
c.		This movie was re-released by Astor Pictures in 1943 as "Fight On Marines!" to take advantage of the wartime demand for patriotic subjects, filling the lower half of the double bill in second-run movie houses. This reissue causes a lot of confusion in Toby Wings career bios as it often credited as a singular 1943 production when it was, in fact a re-issue. Tobys film career ended in 1937, although a couple of her films would be released into 1938.
d.		Peter Cook and Robert Stephens were in the running for Noel Coward (Daniel Massey).

4.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?

5.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		To prepare for his role as Francois Pienaar, Matt Damon took intensive coaching at the Gardens Rugby Club under Chester Williams, who himself was a player in the South African rugby team of 1995.
b.		After this musical flopped at the box office, Fox decided to substantially cut and re-market the film. They did some primitive market research, and tested audience response to three titles: "Music For The Lady, Star!" and "Those Were The Happy Days". The latter got the best response, but (possibly to avoid confusion with a couple songs about happy days) the final title was "Those Were The Happy Times". Robert Wise didnt believe revamping the the film would work but he didnt interfere. He declined to be involved in the re-cutting and asked that his credit "A Robert Wise Film" be removed. William Reynolds, the films original editor, was hired to cut down the film based on instructions from Richard D. Zanuck. The cuts were a bad idea but they were very adeptly done. They hired the same artist who did the poster for "Sound Of Music" and every attempt was made to make audiences think this 120 minute version was a similar film. The original title was tucked into a corner of all the ads, so audiences were not fooled and this desperate effort only convinced people who hadnt seen the original that it really was a bad film. By the time it debuted on American television, the original title was restored, but the picture was still cut. At almost the same time, it debuted on TV in England, but in the full original version, missing only the overture and entracte.
c.		This was Afghanistans first film to be submitted for Oscar nomination as best foreign language film.
d.		Alberto Granado flew to Temuco, Chile from Cuba, to act as a technical consultant for some scenes. He was interviewed outside the real "Diario Austral" in Temuco.

6.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		Bumblebee continues to use his radio to communicate, even though at the end of Transformers he was able to speak briefly. The writers liked Bumblebees radio ability and wanted to use it again, so the movie comic Transformers: Alliance (#3) explains that Bumblebees voice processor was damaged again in a battle with Starscream.
b.		This film grew out of a massive attempt by Twentieth Century-Fox to duplicate its earlier success with The Sound of Music by producing three expensive, large-scale musicals over a period of three years, Doctor Dolittle and Hello, Dolly! being the others. Unfortunately, tastes in popular entertainment were beginning to change and all three films box-office performance reflected this. All were released amidst massive pre-release publicity and all lost equally massive amounts of money for the studio. The result was that several top studio executives lost their jobs, and the studio itself went into such dire financial straits that it only produced one picture for the entire calendar year of 1970. In truth, it would never recoup its losses until a highly successful theatrical reissue of "The Sound of Music" in early 1973.
c.		Episode 7: The Feast of Vengeance
d.		Josies assignment also resembles the experiences of Cameron Crowe, who went back to his old high school at 21 and wrote a novel and screenplay based on his experience there, which eventually became the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

7.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		Final cinema film of Willoughby Goddard.
b.		The Blue Fairy in Pinocchio (as well as the prince in Snow White) was created by using the rotoscope technique.
c.		During shooting of the film, unhappy community members left racist and anti-Spike Lee messages near or around the production equipment.
d.		During the cricket match in the alley, there is a line "If that was a googly, Im a Chinaman". In cricket, a "googly" is type of delivery bowled by right-handed leg-spinner, where the ball moves into the batsman rather than away from him. It is also called a "wrongun". (Note: left-handed spin bowlers are sometimes called "chinaman" bowlers.)

8.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		The pinup model in Jerris locker is Amy Sedaris. Sedaris also played the cocktail waitress in the "Teachers Lounge" scene.
b.		The origins of this project date back to 1955, as a musical/drama vehicle produced by Warner Brothers for Judy Garland, and as a follow-up to her triumph in A Star Is Born. After Garland lost the Academy Award for Best Actress that year, all future projects between Transcona Productions (the production company set up by Garland and her husband Sidney Luft) were abandoned and her 3 picture contract canceled.
c.		Leonard Nimoy does the turbolift voice in the scene when Scotty says "Up your shaft", while exiting the Starship Execelsior. The end credits lists the voice under the alias Frank Force.
d.		Christian Slaters film debut.

9.	Which of the following famous movie trivia, is related to the Hollywood movie: Star! (1968)?
a.		The two police squad cars seen throughout the film are both 1968 Dodge Chargers with various embellishments.

c.		Storm Cloud, the horse used in the filming of Unrequited, was a direct descendant of the race horse, Storm Cat and a distant relative to second most famous race horse in the world, Secretariat.
d.		Daniel Craig was first choice for Paul Avery.
