Deanna Durbin as Eliza Dolittle My Fair Lady (Karaoke)

[Gemminicus]

Cool story. Such an under exposed enormous star. TCM has in the past, but not recently done dedications to her films. Always haunted by the ones like this who walk away so easily from Hollywood in their prime. She was a genius in comedy & musicals. That would have been a helluva comeback.

I feel you Marianne Faithfull (what my channel is about) also had some great opportunities slip-she was supposed to be in Ned Kelly and then in Macbeth so believe me I understand! I do think Deanna would have been perfect-the high note in I Could Have Danced All Night was classic Deanna. The film would have been alright if they had just gone with Julie Andrews not that I don't like Audrey's acting but she shouldn't have been cast in a singing role if she couldn't sing. Great Vid!
