Questions about trivia


- she's switching channels on a tv with rabbit ears - she clearly doesn't have cable, so how does she come across a channel with a nude ballet? Some are wearing body suits but some are clearly totally naked. They are dancing to Adagio For Strings. What ballet is this and when was it aired, or was it staged just for this movie?

- Who is the man with the microphone in the photo on her shelf? If not for the strange V shaped teeth I'd say Johnny Ray. It's clearly someone imitating Johnny Ray.

- Is it established that she did zero dancing for this film? In the dancing scenes that shows the face, it's clearly Marine Jahan, and in every dancing scene that doesn't show the face, it's clearly done to hide her face (silhouettes, etc.). Did the filmmakers really think the big hair would totally make people ignore the face? Yes I know there were three body doubles for the last dance. But I can't find any scene at all where Jennifer Beals did the dancing. All closeups of her dancing or about to dance are from the waist up.

- whose battered, calloused, swollen feet were used in the scene where she tapes her feet?

I am hoping someone who knows the answers will reply. Thanks in advance!
