Andrews vs. Hepburn«Julie Andrews had been Harrison's stage partner, playing the part of Eliza on Broadway, but, despite lobbying from screenwriter Alan Jay Lerner, Jack Warner of Warner Brothers insisted on having Audrey Hepburn for the film version since she was a box office star while Andrews was an untested screen presence. Elizabeth Taylor reportedly fought long and hard for the role as well.
Andrews' subsequent Academy Award for Mary Poppins — and the lack of a nomination for Hepburn (due to her being dubbed by Marni Nixon) — was seen by many as vindication for Julie Andrews, though both actresses denied that there was ever any animosity between them.
Three years later, when Warner Bros. offered Andrews the role of Guinevere in the film adaptation of the Lerner and Lowe musical Camelot (which she also originated to great acclaim on Broadway), Andrews asked for $7 million, effectively declining the offer. Vanessa Redgrave took the role, although she was quoted as saying that, had Julie Andrews wanted to play the role, she certainly would have. ... »
DubbingHepburn's singing was judged inadequate, and she was dubbed by Marni Nixon.[3] Some of Hepburn's original vocal performances for the film were released in the 1990s, affording audiences an opportunity to judge whether the dubbing was necessary. Less well known is the dubbing of Jeremy Brett's songs (as Freddy) by Bill Shirley.[4]
Rex Harrison declined to pre-record his musical numbers for the film, explaining that he had never talked his way through the songs the same way twice and thus couldn't convincingly lip-sync to a playback during filming (as musical stars had been doing in Hollywood since the dawn of talking pictures). In order to permit Harrison to sing his songs live during filming, the Warner Bros. Studio Sound Department, under the direction of George Groves, implanted a wireless microphone in Harrison's neckties, marking the first time in film history that one was used to record sound during filming. André Previn then conducted the final version of the music to the voice recording. The sound department earned an Academy Award for its efforts.
