Gloria, According to Peter Wollen (Singin' in the Rain, BFI, 1992), "Lina's voice in the film is modelled on the voice used by Judy Holliday in her first big post-Revuers success, Born Yesterday (1950), and Jean Hagen, who plays the part, was actually Holliday's replacement in the original stage production when it went on Tour."
