Off-Topic: Death of "Ghost" Singer Marni Nixon at 86

Legendary "ghost" singer Marni Nixon, who provided the uncredited singing
voice for female stars in movies such as "West Side Story," "The King and I,"
and "My Fair Lady," has died at age 86. Back then, the studios kept the
existence of singing dubbing a secret, and only much later did she receive
the credit she deserved. One of my all time favorite people. Peace.

Here's a circa 2008 interview with her at the Chicago Tribune:
