Signed to Twentieth Century-Fox since October 25, 1939, Betty Grable informed studio chief Darryl F. Zanuck during production that she would not commit to the remaining three years of her latest contract. On June 3, 1953, a studio press release announced the official split. Returning only once to Fox, Betty would star in How to Be Very, Very Popular (1955), a vehicle in which Marilyn Monroe refused to appear and was replaced by Sheree North. Two unfulfilled proposals to have Grable film again at Fox were the mother role (subsequently played by Ginger Rogers) in Teenage Rebel (1956) and then in 1964, another mom part in a project ultimately canceled called "High Heels."
