Fell pregnant and was replaced by Judy Garland, who was replaced by Jane Powell.

Called back from MGM leave to replace the pregnant June Allyson, but subsequently fired for lateness and absences. Like the Barkleys of Broadway, this was another unsuccessful attempt to re-team Garland with Fred Astaire.

The first leading lady attached to this project was Vera-Ellen. The role subsequently went to June Allyson, then Judy Garland (who both left the project) and finally Jane Powell.
