In preparation for Eleanor Powell's dance routine to the title song in LADY BE GOOD (’41), MGM auditioned several dogs, but none could do the tricks required.
Powell eventually bought a dog and trained it herself for weeks in order to fully master the choreography. Legendary choreographer Busby Berkeley, who staged all the numbers in the film, called Powell "by far the finest female dancer we ever had in films, and a very hardworking perfectionist."
