* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Garson Kanin wrote that Creator/MarilynMonroe made a screen test for Billie Dawn in 1948 before signing a two-picture contract. Those who saw it thought it was excellent, but Columbia head Harry Cohn did not take the trouble to walk six steps from his desk to his projection room to watch it. Cohn's first choice was his Creator/RitaHayworth. At the time, however, she was heavily involved in an international romance with Aly Kahn. When she wed him and temporarily retired from the screen, Cohn put the project on hold. Other candidates included Creator/JeanArthur, Creator/LucilleBall, Creator/GloriaGraham and Creator/BarbaraStanwyck.
