** {{Madonna}} in general, who's essentially playing a 1940s version of herself.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: In the original cut, there was a subplot where Marla Hooch got married right after the Western Union scene. [[spoiler:She tells the girls she's pregnant, but asks them not to tell the coaches who would kick her off her team, and the girls make a promise not to slide into second when she's playing. Then in a game, Dottie's so distracted she doesn't realize Marla's playing second, and slides hard enough into her stomach to cause her to go to the hospital. The scene where Dottie is weeping was originally supposed to be her guilt over what happened with Marla, rather than a direct segue from Betty's tragedy.
