Line 58:
** The singing voice for Deborah Kerr in two different movies - Rodgers & Hammerstein's ''The King and I'' (1956), where her vocals were skilfully intertwined with Deborah's on some tracks; and Leo McCarey's ''An Affair to Remember'' a year later.
** The singing voice for [[Natalie Wood]] as Maria in ''[[West Side Story]]'' (1961) and also sang some parts of the score of Anita played by Rita Moreno, sharing the load with co-dubber Betty Wand and Moreno herself. In parts of the quintet setting of the song "Tonight", Nixon sings both Maria's and Anita's lines.
*** Interestingly, there is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n26hnzcT7SU a clip of Natalie Wood singing (in an untrained voice) "Tonight"
** The singing voice for Audrey Hepburn as Eliza in ''[[My Fair Lady]]'' (1964), for which Nixon gained much notoriety, as news-eager journalists ripped apart the customary veil of secrecy. Industry buzz has said this to have been the cause of Hepburn's failing even to get nominated for an Academy Award for the demanding role.
*** Interestingly, the DVD features the original footage of Hepburn singing, and while she's not as skilled as Nixon, she certainly doesn't embarrass herself. They probably could have gotten away with just letting her sing the part.
