Her name was Jane Chester then and Jane Bartholomew now. She proved it and hollywood knows it. Whether others did it after her who cares. But she was the first one. She even was invited to hollywood by them and was in magazines, tv shows newspapers etc.

It’s that attention to detail that plucked David Fincher from music videos to a more promising career.

I believe The Simpsons Movie also includes young Ralph Wiggum singing along to the fanfare at the very start.

I envisioned the beginning of my super epic, so big it needed TWO studios to present it! I was excited to see how the logos would be presented with the coming of The Towering Inferno, so with eager anticipation I awaited the opening of the movie in second run. When I finaly got to see it and the movie started, alas no cross dissolving logos, but just a plain title card in Irwin Allen's signature typeface (Futura semibold italic?)
