| After watching Dawn Addams (Ann Kay) taking a bath through a keyhole, Shahdov becomes so excited that he leaps into his own tub. Chaplin had filmed many takes of this scene but the gag wasn't coming off, according to associate producer Jerry Epstein. Annoyed, Chaplin did one last take. This time he hit his head on the porcelain and it made a loud crack. Epstein recalled that you could have heard a pin drop on the set, but Charlie stood up, rubbed his head, and said, "Good or bad, it goes." |

| Publicity shot of Dawn Addams, who played Ann Kay. Addams became friends with Charlie & Oona after she auditioned for the role of Terry in Limelight. She later recalled that Charlie's favorite acting instruction to her was "break though.""Remember to be definite,," he said, "moving your head is indefinite. Only make a move when it means something." This was a lesson Chaplin learned 50 years earlier from H.A. Saintsbury who told him not to move his head too much while acting. |
