Audrey Hepburn and Best Actress winner Julie Andrews take a picture together at the 1965 Academy Awards. Apparently there was a little tension between the two. It all started when Hepburn was cast as 'Eliza Doolittle' in the big screen version of "My Fair Lady". Insiders say Andrews should have gotten the part because she originated the role on stage. The role went to the more famous Hepburn. That year, Andrews took the lead role in "Mary Poppins", which won her the 1965 Best Actress Oscar. Hepburn, who had to have her songs dubbed, wasn't even nominated.
When you say Hepburn had to have her songs dubbed does that mean that Julie Andrews sang the songs "live" in Mary Poppins??
ReplyDeleteIt means that Julie Andrew sang all of her songs, while Audrey Hepburn had someone else sing them. I think it was Marni Nixon, but don't quote me on that.
