* ActuallyPrettyFunny: When filming is wrapped, Creator/JanetLeigh finds the Mrs. Bates decayed corpse prop in her makeup chair in her dressing room. Janet's scream is heard, Hitchcock opens the door, then says, "I hope you don't mind. I told Mrs. Bates she could use your dressing room." Despite the fact that Janet looked displeased, rolling her eyes, she has little grin on her face as she closes the door.
