Worn in the audition scene with Robert De Niro and signing the song “Once in Awhile”. Much of the movie was shot on the same soundstages as the great musicals of the 1940's and Lisa used her mother's (Judy Garland's) old dressing room and her old hairdresser (Sidney Guilaroff). As a result, she was haunted by memories of her mother throughout the shoot.
