Can You Spot Barbara Nichols in this Film?

Barbara Nichols - as most know - went on to moderate fame in second leads in films of the mid and late 1950's playing Marilynesque parts and supposedly has a bit as a "blonde dancer" in this movie. It's hard to imagine Barbara getting cast in a Marilyn film as they are too similar even if MM was much softer and more innocent a screen persona. Has anybody been able to spot Barbara in the movie?

I believe it was the last song by Marilyn in the saloon at the end of the film..in any event, during one of her songs in a saloon the camera is panning across the scene and catches a bar girl standing and listening to the song with all the men...she is behind Marilyn facing the camera. I am guessing that is B. N.
