Mrs. Houseman

Originally Lynne Lipton was cast as Baby’s mom, Mrs. Houseman. In the beginning of the film, we see the Houseman pull into the Kellerman’s and we can see Lipton as Mrs. Houseman – her blonde hair is a clear indication. However after she fell ill, the role was then given to Kelly Bishop. Bishop was already posed to play Vivian Pressman (the Bungalow Bunny), but that part then went to the film’s Assistant Choreographer Miranda Garrison.
