Trivia

After Midge gets off the stage in the Paris nightclub, the former New Yorker who has been acting as her translator hands her a card and says, "Here's the card for my psychiatrist who just moved from Boston to New York. He's done wonders for Sylvia Plath." Sylvia Plath was a poet and novelist, best known for her novel "The Bell Jar." She committed suicide at the age of 30 by gassing herself in her kitchen oven, after several previous, unsuccessful attempts at killing herself.

Goofs

Midge does not smoke cigarettes in season 2. In one episode, she inhales and coughs on strong French cigarettes. In others, she just holds one during her act or at the switchboard; they are Salems. This is inappropriate for a 30 year old show business woman in 1960. It also is inappropriate as she is modeled on Joan Rivers and Phyllis Diller. Midge smoked in most episodes in season 1.
