Funny that never occurred to me. I adore Audrey Hepburn. That would have
been fine to have had a definitive version of the Shaw with her as the
heroine. Then.... Julie Andrews as Eliza in My Fair Lady, on film. Has
anyone seen a film of her stage work of that? I certainly hope one exists.

Then, why didn't Marnie Nixon do any on camera movie roles, or does anyone
know if she did any opera or musical on stage? I saw her on television back
in the 60's, and she was very attractive, and in the 80's, I saw her in
concert, and she was most entertaining and in fine voice.
