Harry Pebbel
Историю взлета и падения Джонатана Шилдса, безжалостного и одержимого голливудского продюсера, вспоминают самые близкие ему люди, которых он предал в тот или иной момент — кинозвезда Джорджия Лоррисон, режиссер Фред Эмиэл и сценарист Джеймс Ли Бартлоу. Только кино существовало для Шилдса, только ради него он жил, и только успех волновал его очерствевшую душу… Роль могла быть списана с Вэла Льютона, экстравагантного продюсера 40-х, автора «Людей-кошек». Но, вероятнее всего, прототипом послужил Дэвид О. Селзник, когда он был еще продюсером фильмов категории «Б» и только мечтал об «Унесенных ветром». Персонаж Ланы Тернер легко идентифицировать с Дианой Бэрримор, а Дика Пауэлла (1904-1963) — с писателем Фрэнсисом Скоттом Фицджеральдом, чей роман с Голливудом закончился горько.

Frederick Kellerman
«Миллион долларов для русалки» - лучшая работа Мервина ЛеРоя, как режиссера крупномасштабного кино, и самая успешная попытка объединения в мировой киноиндустрии сюжетной драматической линии с водным балетом, синхронным плаванием, прыжками в воду и правдивой жизненной историей героев. В основу сюжета легла история жизни знаменитой австралийской киноактрисы, прыгуньи и плавчихи Аннеты Келлерман - первой в мире женщине совершившей спортивный прыжок с несколькими оборотами в воду. Она первая из женщин проплыла по Темзе 21 километр без посторонней помощи. Её цирковые и водные представления собирали толпы зрителей, её фото красовались на всех обложках журналов и страницах газет. Это она придумала обтягивающий тело купальник из эластичной ткани и её откровенный костюм, вызвавший волну возмущения у пуритан, чуть не привел девушку на скамью подсудимых.
