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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIS7xnE4nNA --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
