History YMMV / Gypsy

* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
** Louise and Rose gawking at the strippers upon their arrival. The strippers don't seem to mind.
** At one of their first shows, Rose comments about the comedian before June's act about how he would never get anywhere. Who was that comedian? [[Radio/TheJackBennyProgram Jack Benny]].
* HarsherInHindsight: As Louise's fame grows Rose chastises her for not believing that Vaudeville will eventually come back, to which Louise remarks that she'll be dead by the time that happens. In real life, Creator/NatalieWood, who played Louise in the film version, died in her early 40s.
* HilariousInHindsight: Lara Pulver, who appeared on ''Series/{{Sherlock}}'' as Irene Adler, who had a scene in her birthday suit, would go on to play Louise in a West End revival.
* JustHereForGodzilla: For the film, if Creator/RosalindRussell overacting like there's no tomorrow is not your thing, you might go straight to Natalie Wood's burlesque numbers at the end.
* LesYay: The strippers take a real liking into Rose. One of them even compliments her mother's strut, saying she would have made an excellent stripper. Heck, they're not bothered at all at Louise and Rose for gawking at them. The stripper dressed as a gladiator even sway her hips as she struts pass them.

** Rose gets ''two''. When her insane stage mom life drove June to run away from home, and Rose decides to turn Louise into her new project. And when she forces Louise to perform a burlesque show.

** Doubles as HarsherInHindsight when later on in real life, Rose would open a boarding home for women where she [[http://lostwomynsspace.blogspot.com/2015/07/roses-lesbian-boarding-house.html shot and killed her female lover for making a pass at Gypsy.]]
