On this day in 1930, Marni Nixon was born. She was a “ghost singer,” dubbing the singing voices of many Hollywood actresses and provided vocals in Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, and Mulan in which she was the singing voice of Grandmother Fa. She also appeared multiple times on Broadway, opera, film (you can see her as Sister Sophia in The Sound of Music), and television shows. She even performed with Victor Borge and Liberace!
