There is a rumor that Jean Hagen spoke and sang with her real voice in the scenes where Hagen's Lina is supposedly being dubbed by Debbie Reynolds's character, Kathy. This is only partly true. Jean Hagen did "dub" her own speaking voice in those scenes, but she did not do her own singing. The singing done on "Would You?" was done neither by Hagen or Reynolds, but by Betty Noyes, who also dubs Reynolds in the finale, a duet of "You Are My Lucky Star" with Gene Kelly. Reynolds did her own singing on "Good Morning" and Kathy's rendition of "Singin' in the Rain," as well as in a deleted solo version of "You Are My Lucky Star" sung in front of a billboard of Don Lockwood.
