I don't know for sure. Probably mid 60s.

I wish I had the entire appearance on tape. It would have been interesting to hear all the questions and answers. I posted another video with Marni in clips from her movies, and an appearance she did with Liberace.

I am very proud to say I was named after the fabulous Marni Nixon!! Most people ask where I got my name & I couldn't be more proud to be named Marni...thank you, Marni!!!

Thanks to Reference Recordings, Mayorga and Prof. Johnson, Mrs. Nixon is not a "ghost" but a perfect and exquisite interpreter for Kern and Gershwin musical gems...

Listen to these wonderful CDs...

Vivamente consigliati...;-)!!!

My Fair Lady, King and I, West Side Story are all Marni Nixon.  She was one of the nuns in the Sound of Music.

I love Marni!

I"d love to be a dubber, but bummer, I do not enjoy my own voice that much , as to punish others with it. I guess, "Singing in the rain" was kind of inspired of a dubber lady like Mrs Nixon.

Can i see the whole thing everywhere

I actually grew up in the Seattle area with her kids show Boomerang that she hosted.

This was a no-brainer. If you saw Sound of Music, she was one of the nuns singing near the beginning in a long sequence and was given screen credit.

Andrew Gold, who had the hits "Lonely Boy" and "Thank You For Being A Friend" in the '70s, is Marni Nixon's son.

How fun to see the famous "reveal" of the three challengers as the curtain rose and that music played. Sent a shiver of recognition and delight down my spine. I grew up watching "To Tell the Truth" in the 1960's, when it was on Monday nights at 7:30 pm, and for some reason I can't fathom that was one of my favorite pieces of music from a TV show. Thank you for playing that again.
