Uncredited Barbara Billingsley?

I rented this movie last week, and I'm certain that I saw a very young Barbara Billingsley in the "audience" of the radio program from an early scene of the movie.

Does anyone know where the movie was filmed? She had lived in Los Angeles after high school, but her biography places her as living in New York about the time the movie was filmed: in 1941 she married Glenn Billingsley, nephew of Stork Club owner Sherman Billingsley.

Was it her, or just someone who looks a little like her?

It says here on IMDB that it was filmed at the following locations:

Naval Training Center, San Diego, California, USA
Pearl Harbor Naval Station, Pearl Harbor, O`ahu, Hawaii, USA
Salton Sea, California, USA

A couple online bios say that she was appearing as an extra in films in the early 40's. I just gave a look at the film, and yes it could be her. Do you mean the one in black, in the second row?

I was watching the beginning of Buck Privates, and I was wondering if that could also be Barbara Billingsley playing a cigarette girl.

Here are screencaps from both films:

Maybe it's because of the 2 films on one DVD format that your repeat isn't working. Not sure.

I got the first 3 box sets some months back. They're great value. I've seen all but the last film in the first box set. I'm enjoying them a lot.

Both of the above links are long dead.

I think links that no longer work are called "link rot".

On a side note, my new user name should be "I-AM-SICK-OF-LOGGING-IN-TO-IMDB".

Why is IMDB requiring so many log-ins???
