Trivia / Four Daughters

• Actor-Shared Background: The Lane sisters were all real-life musicians, just like their characters.
• Real-Life Relative: As noted on the main page, three of the actresses playing the Lemp sisters were real-life sisters Priscilla (Ann), Rosemary (Kay) and Lola Lane (Thea).
• What Could Have Been:
  • Bette Davis was set to star in the movie, but turned it down.
  • The character of Mickey was written for Van Heflin.
  • Errol Flynn was originally supposed to star in the movie, but he dropped out, which reduced the budget.
  • A fourth Lane sister, Leota, was originally going to play Emma, but the studio didn't think she was right for the role, so Gale Page, a contract actress, was assigned the role instead.
