When Gene Kelly filmed the famous dance sequence from Singin' in the Rain, he was actually singin' in the milk!

With the filming technology at the time, it was very difficult to capture small, clear droplets of rain on camera. To get around this, the filmmakers added milk to the mixture, making it more easily visible. Some other interesting facts about Singin' in the Rain:

-About $160,000 was spent on costuming. -Debbie Reynolds' singing ability was somewhat limited.

Anne Frank’s sister also kept a diary!

At one point, Anne’s diary alludes to her older sister’s memoirs:

“Last night Margot and I were lying side by side in my bed. It was incredibly cramped, but that’s what made it fun. She asked if she could read my diary once in a while. ‘Parts of it,’ I said, and asked about hers. She gave me permission to read her diary as well.” 

Unfortunately, the diary of Margot Frank was never found.
