Plenty have appreciated the sweet timbre of Marni Nixon's singing voice, but few could spot the "Ghostess with the Mostest" in the flesh, unless she was in a who's-who lineup with Audrey Hepburn, Deborah Kerr, and Natalie Wood. Of course, that's because we saw the aforementioned leading ladies, but heard Nixon's supple soprano in musicals like My Fair Lady and West Side Story. To untangle the this-and-that rigmarole behind her lack of face time, Film Forum's Bruce Goldstein and award-winning musical-theatre writer Stephen Cole (who co-authored her autobiography, I Could Have Sung All Night) interview Nixon about her pitch-perfect career — from dubbing to opera, and from Bernstein to Stravinsky.
