I heard Michael Caine was in the original banjo boy scene but he was so scared he forgot his lines and was fired.
Sadly in real life he is broke and works at a Walmart in Clayton, Rabun County.

That area has exploded with tourism, namely Tallulah Gorge and Sky Valley (basically the GA version of Highlands HC). You would have thought he could have figured out a way to make a buck or two off that scene.

He should have learned to play banjo.
Even that one freakin song.

It was someone else's hands in the scene

In Cleveland, there is the house that they used for the exterior shots in "A Christmas Story". Across the street from there is a gift shop and usually every day there is a guy there signing autographs and talking to people. The guy who delivered the "Major Award".

If that guy turned his "fame" into a career...

Heck on that note someone bought that house and made it into a museum. Not even part of the movie and are making money off it.
