Here's another of the beautiful performances of the Fountains of Bellagio, in Las Vegas, Nevada, as seen from one of the Bellagio hotel rooms overlooking the fountains. This song was sung by Gene Kelly from the 1952 classic movie of the same name, which earned two Oscar nominations. The movie also starred Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds. "Singin' in the Rain" was one of the most popular movies for its time, and the historical background on the casting for the movie is very interesting (as learned from Wikipedia.org), because NONE of the main actors in the movie were the first choices for each of the roles! LOL It's funny how fate works out :)
Gene Kelly as Don Lockwood . . . Although his performance in the song "Singin' in the Rain" is now considered iconic, Kelly was NOT the first choice for the role — Howard Keel was originally cast. However, Keel was replaced by Kelly as the screenwriters evolved the character from a "Western actor" to a "song-and-dance vaudeville" performer.
Debbie Reynolds as Kathy Selden . . . Early on in production, Judy Garland (shortly before her contract termination from MGM), Kathryn Grayson, Jane Powell, Leslie Caron, and June Allyson were among the names thrown around for the role of the "ingenue".
Donald O'Connor as Cosmo Brown . . . The role was based on, and was initially written for, Oscar Levant.
Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont . . . Judy Holliday was strongly considered for the role of Lina, until she suggested Hagen, who had been her understudy in the Broadway production of "Born Yesterday". Fresh off her role in "The Asphalt Jungle", Hagen read for the part for Arthur Freed and did a dead-on impression of Holliday's Billie Dawn character, which won her the role.

Yes, he does take up a lot of the time on the show but Since Dusty Donovan, played by Grayson McCouch, may, in the future, play a part in Noah Mayer's life, I though I'd upload some video of him from today's show. He also answers a question about something many fans would like the writers to consider; Dusty playing a mentor to Noah.
