true,definitely.she was nominated but lost to Gloria Grahame for "Bad and the Beautiful'.I don't know why Grahame was even nominated , let alone won.She was only on screen for 7 minutes
Every gesture and movement Jean Hagen does with her body language and face is pure comedy genius. Not a millisecond of her physical acting isn't at max.
I absolutely adore Jean Hagen. She was sheer perfection as Lina Lamont in Singing in the Rain. Every time I watch this wonderful movie I find myself rooting for her character.
Jean Hagen. One of America's national treasures. No award in those days could adequately honor her achievement in this movie. Now that almost 60 years on we all know how exceptional she was as Lina Lamont, she needs a posthumous Oscar or her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for her superbly played role in Singing In The Rain.
Jean Hagen is my absolute favorite actress in this movie! She was so funny and brilliant that even my 14 year old will actually sit and watch this incredible musical. Everyone is so wonderful in this film, but Jean Hagen was a scene stealer. I have two favorites of this film, this scene and the Cyd Charisse (green dress) and Gene Kelly dance sequence.
Sublime. I watch this amazing movie every Easter...although I do not know why I pick that particular day. This scene makes me crazy. She...THEY are amazing.
I remember the first time I heard this woman's voice in this scene. It sounded a thousand nails scraped over a chalkboard. The fact that she refused to fix anything was just insult to injury.
John Canary Jene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Jean Hagen are Batman, The Joker and Harley Quinn in...Broodin' in the Rain. With Debbie Reynolds as Catwoman.
Jean Hagen's real voice was closer in timbre to Kathleen Freeman's. Jean even dubbed some of Debbie Reynolds' lines and singing in this movie (the lower-pitched stuff).
She's pretty much an example of the class in all the schools I attended. Because no matter how many times you tell her one thing, she'll just do what she wants, as if you said nothing at all.
the whole movie is sheer perfection ..all of it..but this is the scene that always makes me piss in my pants!! Jean Hagen with that accent was a joy and a total delight not only to watch but to listen to!! and she practically stole the show from eveyone ....and that's not easy with a trio like Kelly-Reynolds-O'Connor and the wonderful Cyd Charisse!! That's all! I 'cayyyn't' go on: must watch this clip again!!
The whole "Cahn't" "Ceean't" thing was actually a running joke between me and my friends during elementary school... and before you ask I'm only 18, so that wasn't too long ago. Ah, the joys of having parents who raised me on classics!
Lina: And i cahnt stand em Ms. Dimsmore: And i can't stand him Lina: And i cahnt stand em Ms. Dinsmore: can't Lina: cahnt Ms. Dinsmore: caaan't Lina: caaahnt Ms. Dinsmore: we've got work to do
gosh i just spend 10 minutes looking for this im so happy i finally FOUND IT! this is my fave part of the movie it's so hilarious "can't" "Cayynn't" lmfao
Lucky you ! My parents raised me on the classics too and nobody had any idea what I was talking about whenever I mentioned Singing in the Rain or Gene Kelley..:(
It's ironic that Debbie Reynold's speaking voice is actually a little squeaky, so in the dialogue dubbing scenes it was actually Jean dubbing Debbie dubbing her! "It makes us feel as though our hard work ain't beein vain for nothing."
It's great to see Kathleen Freeman in this performance. Usually she plays a different kind of character. I can't think of her without thinking about the maid she played in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and the line she kept saying: "They'll charge ya for it!"
I'm sure almost nobody realizes there's a follow-up to this gag later on in the film, when you see and hear this completed scene ("Oh, Pierre, you shouldn't have come!"), and Lina says, "And I cahn't steeand him!" She managed to say "cahn't" but couldn't manage "stahnd."
I’m playing Lina in my community theatre production. 1. Lina’s coach’s name is Miss Dinsmore, and the doods’ coach doesn’t have a name - 2. Now my friends Trista and Cade won’t stop screaming “Well I can’t make love to a bush!” even though, it being a middle school group production, it’s now “Well I can’t do a darn love scene with an icky bush!”
Don't judge me, but I think everything about Lina is adorable. Including her voice. She's definitely one of my favorite characters, like ever. I love her too darn hard.
I love how Lina Lamont is standing like a diva and her entire posture says "Why do I have to be here?"
She’s going steady with herself...that’s the problem
Jean Hagen deserved a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in this film.
true,definitely.she was nominated but lost to Gloria Grahame for "Bad and the Beautiful'.I don't know why Grahame was even nominated , let alone won.She was only on screen for 7 minutes

This is how I teach my students how to correctly pronounce Kant's name.
Lina Lamont makes this film for me. So unscrupulous but somehow loveable. Great performance.
Funny thing is Jean Hagen's real speaking voice sounds like the diction coach. Amazing acting
I saw this film when I was a little kid and for some reason this scene is the thing I remember from it most clearly...
I absolutely adore Jean Hagen. She was sheer perfection as Lina Lamont in Singing in the Rain. Every time I watch this wonderful movie I find myself rooting for her character.
coach: caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant stand him.
Lela: caAAAaAaAnt StaaAndim
XDDDlol epic

the end of this scene actually made me laugh out loud !
that's comedy for you! :))

She sounds like Betty Boop took voice lessons from Harley Quinn
"well i cant make love to a BUSH!"
lol
Kathleen Freeman as the diction coach in real life was a warm, down to earth spiritual person.
Sublime. I watch this amazing movie every Easter...although I do not know why I pick that particular day. This scene makes me crazy. She...THEY are amazing.

She's imitating Judy Holliday who was originally cast in the role.
Too bad there can't be a screech-off between Fran Fine and Lina Lamont.
Who think she would make an interesting Harley Quinn? She's got the voice for it, certainly!
I've yet to see a female batman. But there is Batgirl and Batwoman. So...
John Canary Jene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Jean Hagen are Batman, The Joker and Harley Quinn in...Broodin' in the Rain. With Debbie Reynolds as Catwoman.
well, she kinda predates Harleen Quinnzel by 40 years.
If it was her real voice, sure...
I'm pretty sure that Harley Quinn drew some inspiration from Lina.
This is my fave part of the movie
My favorite part of the whole movie XD
this is my favourite bit from the whole film, i laugh EVERY time i watch it. class!
I saw this when I was 10 yrs old. Aaand
I still say, "I caaann't stan' it" and it makes people laugh !! Love it!!
My very, very, very favourite piece in the Whole Film ! Fabulous ..
"CAAAAHHHN'T"
*"KEEEEEAAANNN'T"*
Kathleen Freeman. Love this, and the "rrrrrround tones, rrrrrrrround tones...." "Oh, Pierre, you shoudn't have come!"
Jean Hagen's real voice was closer in timbre to Kathleen Freeman's. Jean even dubbed some of Debbie Reynolds' lines and singing in this movie (the lower-pitched stuff).
Great comedy is timeless. In a million years, people will still laugh at this.
“It’s a SIMPLE, *SIMPLE,* O sound LINA!”
That’s what I would say.
Just love her voice!
Love Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont!
Great film, great songs and lots of humour
I love Jean Hagen, and I really love Kathleen Freeman! My favorite character actress of all time!
She's pretty much an example of the class in all the schools I attended. Because no matter how many times you tell her one thing, she'll just do what she wants, as if you said nothing at all.

And I caaaaaaahnt styan' 'im.
I love Lina!
Bet Jean Hagen's throat hurt after shooting her scenes for this movie.
a squeaky but very interesting voice....love this scene :)))
The whole "Cahn't" "Ceean't" thing was actually a running joke between me and my friends during elementary school... and before you ask I'm only 18, so that wasn't too long ago. Ah, the joys of having parents who raised me on classics!
She nailed this roll in movie!she never really got recognition like kelly,oconner,renolds did. Shame
Lina: And i cahnt stand em
Ms. Dimsmore: And i can't stand him
Lina: And i cahnt stand em
Ms. Dinsmore: can't
Lina: cahnt
Ms. Dinsmore: caaan't
Lina: caaahnt
Ms. Dinsmore: we've got work to do
gosh i just spend 10 minutes looking for this
im so happy i finally FOUND IT!
this is my fave part of the movie
it's so hilarious
"can't"
"Cayynn't"
lmfao
and she had a realy nice deep voice .... but not many people know.... she is wonderful.....
Lucky you ! My parents raised me on the classics too and nobody had any idea what I was talking about whenever I mentioned Singing in the Rain or Gene Kelley..:(

"It makes us feel as though our hard work ain't beein vain for nothing."
Growing up, this part always made me laugh.
Watching this for the first time ever in my music class at school. everyone hates it, but i think its gorgeous. XD
My FAVORITE scene in the ENTIRE film! ^_^
Her voice is so adorable
Everyone loves this scene
Out of the entire show, this is the scene I remember the most.
It's great to see Kathleen Freeman in this performance. Usually she plays a different kind of character. I can't think of her without thinking about the maid she played in "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and the line she kept saying: "They'll charge ya for it!"
The best part in the movie! A total hoot!
Best Movie Ever. Jean Hagen is a delight!
"Caaaaahn't." "Ceeeeeeaaaan't."
Kathleen Freeman. Veteran character actress. You probably saw her in The Blue Brothers or Naked Gun, but she did countless other parts as well.
"And I caaaaaaaaayn't stan em"
Aaaahahah.
LOL! i love this! i quote it all the time with my sister in law!
She's got the highest pitched voice out of everyone.
i love kathleen freeman in anything she ever did.
We have the same name :P
Also, hilarious performance!
I just found out I'm playing Lina in my school production, I can't wait to do this scene :P
I'm sure almost nobody realizes there's a follow-up to this gag later on in the film, when you see and hear this completed scene ("Oh, Pierre, you shouldn't have come!"), and Lina says, "And I cahn't steeand him!"
She managed to say "cahn't" but couldn't manage "stahnd."
Love this clip!!
HILARIOUS ~ JEAN HAGEN was wonderful in
this role...
This lady would go on to be the Mother Superior in The Blues Brothers and the Old Lady in Shrek
Wow
I love Lina Lamont! She's a tragic character though if you think about it!
i love watching these clip so funny love singing in the rain
A shimmering star in the cinamatic fur.ma.mint. She should have gotten the Oscar for that performance.
@JubalCalif Agreed! The lady that won that year for Gloria Graham for her very uninteresting performance in The Bad and the Beautiful.
Ha ha ha ha best part in this musical :)
One of my favorite parts
Absolutely brilliant!
This is glorious
My Choir Teacher had us watch this movie and told us not to sing like how she talks 😂
I know a lot of people hate Lina's character, but I think she's hilarious 😂
how can anyone hate her. She was brilliant
I’m playing Lina in my community theatre production. 1. Lina’s coach’s name is Miss Dinsmore, and the doods’ coach doesn’t have a name - 2.

"And I can' stand 'em."
That poor diction teacher.
me and my friend watched sum of this in dance and for the rest of the day we talked like her and sed we couldnt stand anythin lol
caaaant stan'em
Classic!
How ironic that Debbie is dubbed in this movie but the movie is about being dubbed.. I was super super super sad when I found that out
Isn't it ironic? Don't you think?
I can totally imagine Sugar Motta as Lina Lamont!! XD
rrrrrrrround tones
@petespanchos "I would like...to feed your fingertips...to a wolverine. If you are out...of wolverines...a badger will do..."
I played This Clip And My Little Chihauhau "Mimi" Started Barking From The Other Room. Lol
I see a ditzy Marilyn Monroe
And I can't stanem, classic!
😂😂 the great actress Jean Hagen
Round tones, round tones
"Stand by your Man"
Her real speaking voice was quite normal.
my friends say I can do lina really well
Genius
the actor who portrays lina isn't even from new york she's from Chicago.
Jean Hagen played Danny Thomas's wife in the original "Make Room For Daddy" TV series.
This feels like early "I would like to buy a hamburger".
She reminds me of the late Ana Nicole Smith
LOL my dog barks everytime she speaks XD
Cool
CUUUUUUUNNNNNNTTT
