A lovely voice. RIP

Thanks for this.
I didn't know that she was the voice behind so many great songs.

[Mayerling]

Probably the best known unseen presence in major musicals in film history. I'm glad she did get the recognition for her work as the voice of so many actresses.

[Elamarna]

Real star,

unnoticed by the masses but adored by her fans.

Without her the decision not to cast Julie Andrews in My fair lady would have been a disaster, with her it worked. Although to be fair to Audrey she looked the part wonderfully.

And of course a real survivor and fighter too.

gone but NEVER forgotten

Steve
