• Marilyn Monroe was offered Lola-Lola, but turned it down. In 1958, she posed as Marlene Dietrich as Lola-Lola for a Life Magazine pictorial shot by Richard Avedon.
• The original choice for Professor Rath, when Marilyn Monroe was still slated for Lola-Lola, was Spencer Tracy. After Tracy proved unavailable, Fredric March was proposed for the role.
