Field was a 6' tall, 250-pound blonde bathing girl, whose presence in 1927-28 "Sennett Girl" comedies was hard to ignore, as her ample size often factored into gags. Born in Charlotte, Michigan, Field had no stage experience when she signed with M-G-M in 1925. She also appeared in Fox Imperial Comedies, an episode of Stern Bros.Universal's "What Happened to Jane" series (1927), Bray Sunkist Comedies, William Pizor comedies and the Colleen Moore feature Ella Cinders (FN 1926). Field developed a lasting friendship with Sennett co-star Carole Lombard, who called her "Fieldsie." After her Sennett days, Field served as Lombard's unofficial manager, negotiating her five-year contract with Paramount in 1930. Lombard also left Field an annuity upon her unexpected death in 1942. In 1937, Field married director Walter Lang, and their son Richard (whose godmother was Lombard) became a television director. Field's only credited sound feature was Paris Interlude (M-G-M 1934). She died at 67 in Palm Springs, California, and is interred at Inglewood Park Cemetery, Inglewood, California.

Kemp played collegiate types in Sennett's youth-oriented pictures of 1927-28 and the feature The Good-Bye Kiss, after which he won release from Sennett in a contract dispute. Then he returned for a single appearance as Bing Crosby's rival in 1931's One More Chance.

Born in Long Island, New York, Kemp was a civil engineer who was picked to appear in a newspaper advertisement for toothpaste.

"이봐, 젊은이! 내 딸의 마음은 풋볼이 아니라고!" 조니 버크가 29년작 Matchmaking Mamma에서 매티 켐프가 딸의 마음을 갖고 논다고 생각해서 그에게 하는 말. 다프네에게는 필리스(캐롤 롬바드)라는 딸이 있고, 딸을 매티 켐프와 결혼시키고 싶어한다. 한편 조니 버크는 샐리(샐리 아일러스)라는 딸이 있는데 다프네는 그의 딸이 수녀원학교에 있는다는 조건으로 그와 결혼하지만, 샐리는 방학을 맞아 아버지와 의붓어머니(다프네)를 보러 온다. 그러다가 샐리는 매티를 만나 그와 사랑에 빠지지만, 다프네는 샐리에게 매티는 자기 딸 필리스의 약혼자라고 거짓말을 하고, 샐리는 크게 상처받는다. 이 영화도 굉장히 재밌고 Sennett's flaming youth comedy답게 사랑에 빠진 젊은이들의 모습을 잘 담아내고 있다.
