Marni Nixon was one of the nuns in the movie version of
Sound of Music (starring Julie Andrews). The irony was
well-noted at the time. Julie Andrews not being cast in the
movie of My Fair Lady was quite a scandal at the time! In
fact, her not being case in MFL is often given as the reason
she got the Best Actress Oscar that same year in Disney's
Mary Poppins.
