Talk:The Great Ziegfeld

Who played Will Rogers in this movie?

The movie contains a brief scene with Will Rogers, who worked in Ziegfield's Follies in his earlier career. The movie was released in 1936, the year after Rogers' death. Did Rogers play himself, or was that just an actor who looked remarkably like him?67.237.189.239 (talk) 22:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

IMDb says it was somebody named A. A. Trimble. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:25, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Anna Held's death

I removed "Inaccuracy" "Anna Held died before Ziegfeld did, but this is never mentioned in the film." In the final scene, when she is mentioned, the reply is "Why is it, Jack, that in a world so old, life must be so short?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.251.199.201 (talk) 18:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Who played Jerome Kern in this movie?

There is a brief scene in the movie with an uncredited actor playing Jerome Kern (Jerry), who sits at a piano and plays and sings "Look for the Silver Lining." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.153.206 (talk) 19:50, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Zari Elmassian sang it I think in the performance but the guy who played Jerome on the piano might have been Robert Bradford. not certain. The role so minor it's not worth mentioning of course.♦ Dr. Blofeld 22:29, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
