Ocean's Eleven Facts
Shirley MacLaine shot her quick cameo during a break in filming The Apartment. Although she was offered a car for her work, she says she took the job as an excuse to hang out with her Rat Pack friends and see their Vegas show.
Most filming was accomplished early in the morning, before sunrise, since most of the actors also had shows in Las Vegas that they performed nightly during the shooting. The actors would wake up in the afternoon, do one or two shows in the evening, then go through make-up and arrive at the shooting locations for principal photography. Each shooting location was fully set up in advance so that minimal time would be wasted once the actors arrived.
Writer Jack Golden Russell was a gas station attendant in Vegas who handed the script to Sinatra while he was refilling his car.
One of the most difficult tasks facing the film's production team, was actually convincing Nevada's Clark County officials to let them use one of their garbage trucks.
Longtime Sinatra bodyguard and fight trainer-to-the-stars, Al Silvani, makes an uncredited cameo as the manager of the Burlesque nightclub where Buddy Lester works.
