An Affair to Remember: 'Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories.'

Popped in the Blu Ray and watched "An Affair To Remember again last night."

I wanted to watch with the kids... but they were too busy. Yes, I dig chick flicks.



I watched all the extra features on the Blu Ray dvd. Then I turned on the commentary to see who the commentators would be.  Marni Nixon was one. I learned she was the one who sang and Deborah Kerr lip-synched. It was also Marni Nixon who sang all the songs on "The King and I!" I was always amazed that Deborah could and SING. No wonder.

Marni Nixon: Singing voice of the stars

One of the great unsung stars of Hollywood was Marni Nixon, a voice double whose singing stood in for such actresses as Deborah Kerr in "The King and I," Natalie Wood in "West Side Story," and Audrey Hepburn in "My Fair Lady." Nixon, who passed away this week at age 86, was interviewed by Charles Osgood for a story originally aired on "Sunday Morning"

Marni Nixon was also the singing voice for Natalie Wood on West Side Story!
