FACT: During the musical number “Somewhere there’s Someone” in A Star Is Born from 1954 the Paris segment was not a part of the original cut until Judy Garland met Edith Piaf at a nightclub. After much discussion and admiration of both women they agreed Edith would sing the part for the number with Garland imitating Piaf.

Piaf watched on set behind the palms to sing her part live since Garland was accustom to singing her musical numbers live while filming. For just a brief second if you look close enough you can see Piaf’s foot behind the potted plant as Garland takes the palms and vamps away.
