Today Sadie steps us back into the Hollywood Golden Age to discuss their worst-kept secret, the ghost singer Marni Nixon! Known most famously for being the female lead vocalist behind "My Fair Lady," "The King and I," and "West Side Story," she made her mark on the ears of Hollywood audiences while being sworn to secrecy over her involvement, and never being professionally credited. We discuss what little we know of her personal life, the transitions in Hollywood that led to ghost singers, the hidden role she played, and her remaining legacy today.
