** TruthInTelevision, in that the studios controlled stars' images during both [[SilentAgeOfHollywood the era in which Lockwood became a star]] and [[GoldenAgeOfHollywood the era in which he becomes a bigger star]] . All of the Moguls thought that the stars' off-screen personas had to match the characters they portrayed on-screen, because ViewersAreMorons and wouldn't accept that actors, you know, ACT.

**Gets confusing (and funnier) when you find out that Jean Hagen (who played Lina) actually does some dubbing for Debbie Reynolds (who played Kathy). So Jean Hagen dubs Debbie Reynolds dubbing Jean Hagen.
**Not only that, but in the song "You Are My Lucky Star" Reynolds is actually dubbed by Betty Noyes (although not because Reynolds' voice was no good), which is ironic, considering the premise of the movie.
