Another one that we enjoyed by her was, "The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles".<br />That's disappointing to read that she's really a meany in real life. :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-12347401750569840142010-07-18T17:06:47.502-05:002010-07-18T17:06:47.502-05:00I just wrote about going to her book signing on my...I just wrote about going to her book signing on my blog.

Neat tidbit...my latin teacher in high school's sister is the voice singing "Climb Every Mountain" in The Sound of Music. It is not the actress playing Mother Superior that actually sings. When my high school put on The Sound of Music for the spring musical, we were lucky enough to have my teacher's sister come and sing "Climb Every Mountain" during intermission. It was such a treat.

She always appears so prim and proper in the movies that I love so it's easy to just assume that is the way she is in real life. Like all things, we can't really know a person by their work alone.Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-51884340183883277092010-07-14T12:38:37.497-05:002010-07-14T12:38:37.497-05:00She's doing the voice for the mean mom in &quo...She's doing the voice for the mean mom in "Despicable Me".

She was actually in the Sound of Music with Julie as Sister Sophia and can be seen and heard pondering the problem of Maria! Oh, I just might have to go pull that one out of the DVD cabinet, you've inspired a craving! : )Charlotte (WaltzingM)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12690056082240865041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6268877237940592285.post-1377725135761276862010-07-14T11:08:53.909-05:002010-07-14T11:08:53.909-05:00Did you know that a lady named Marni Nixon was the...Did you know that a lady named Marni Nixon was the singing voice for both Aurdrey Hepburn,in n My Fair Lady and Julie Andrews inthe Sound of Music? And she did a ton of voice over work.
