Hero or Not?
Even though Mel Brooks is considered a national treasure and hero of the movie industry, Madeleine Kahn revealed that he had actually done something not so savory. According to her, when she auditioned for the role of Lili, he asked her to pull up her skirt and show him her legs! He insisted that it was to see if her legs looked right for the role, not because he was being creepy. She did so but informed him that he could only look, not touch.

To Give Credit Where it’s Due
Despite the fact that the film has several great performers in classic parts, some of the actors and their roles were not properly credited. For example, Don Megowan was credited as “Gum Chewer”. But it wasn’t his job; instead, he portrayed the drunken lout who lunged at Lili onstage. So, why was he not credited? Was it on intent or by mistake? We can only guess!
