Marni Nixon: The Voice You Didn't Know You Knew

Marni Nixon sang the following uncredited roles in the movies:

• Eliza Doolittle in My Fair Lady
• Maria in West Side Story
• Anna in The King and I

The Hollywood studio system used voice doubles for their stars in these films, but refused to acknowledge the fact with billing for the singer. Nixon also sang the high notes for Marilyn Monroe in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
