This touching moment was made even more special because the young actress, Samantha Krieger, was genuinely surprised when Richard Attenborough, who played Santa spoke to her in sign language, as they hadn’t rehearsed the scene with her, ensuring her reaction would be authentic and heartfelt.

The original Miracle on 34th Street is one of my favourite films (I'm sorry, but the remake completely messed up the courtroom scene). Knowing that Natalie Wood truly believed Edmund Gwenn was Santa makes their scenes even sweeter! 😍 | Kickass Women of History
