 I could have sung all night.
Author: Nixon, Marni Published: 2006 Marni Nixon has one of the world's most famous singing voices but her name is known only to a few show business enthusiasts, the reason being that she has provided the singing voices in musical films for some of Hollywood's biggest stars whose own vocal abilities were not quite up to the job. Among the stars who she has dubbed for are Deborah Kerr (The King and I), Audrey Hepburn (My Fair Lady), and Natalie Wood (West Side Story). Included in this memoir are details of her fights to receive credit on the films she dubbed, her struggle for royalties, and her work in the classical music world with such luminaries as Igor Stravinsky, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Charles Ives, and Arnold Schoenberg. |
