Today Sadie steps us back into the Hollywood Golden Age to discuss their worst-kept secret, the ghost singer Marni Nixon! Known most famously for being the female lead vocalist behind "My Fair Lady," "The King and I," and "West Side Story," she made her mark on the ears of Hollywood audiences while being sworn to secrecy over her involvement, and never being professionally credited. We discuss what little we know of her personal life, the transitions in Hollywood that led to ghost singers, the hidden role she played, and her remaining legacy today.Episodes like this one: <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/the-dichotomy-of-hollywood-starlets-marilyn-monroe-audrey-hepburn-grace-kelly-doris-day">Hollywood Starlets</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/anna-may-wong">Anna May Wong</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/martha-wash-the-queen-of-clubland">Martha Wash</a>, <a href="https://morethanamuse.simplecast.com/episodes/dame-julie-andrews-actress-singer-author-disney-legend">Julie Andrews</a>Follow us on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/morethanamuse.podcast/">@morethanamuse.podcast</a> Learn more about your ad choices.

A Brief History of Western Feminism

Welcome to MORE THAN A MUSE, a weekly podcast where we explore the lives of women artists, musicians, writers, sculptors, and more. Join Stauney (a graphic designer) and Sadie (a singer-songwriter) EVERY MONDAY as we reframe art history and pop culture with feminism, empowering women to be educated, unapologetically angry, and champion those whom history has forgotten. Through in-depth historical discussions and pop culture chats, we spotlight unsung heroines, all while challenging the status quo. It's time to remember every woman artist as 'More Than A Muse'.
