Reply to comment by Jolly_Job_9852 in Finally watched “It’s a wonderful life” What do you all think about Mary? I find her to be a very interesting character by Burning_Mouth
I just heard something interesting about this... Apparently when they filmed the rock throwing scene they had athletes on hand to accurately throw the rock to break the window. They didn't need to bother because Donna Reed broke it in the first take.

I heard it was a sharpshooter, but athletes makes sense. Apparently she was challenged by Mr. Potter to milk a cow on set, and won the challenge.

That's referenced in the terrific Making Of that was on the special edition DVD back in the day but you can now watch on Youtube (and should))
