Marni Nixon will appear for an onstage interview at New York City’s Film Forum with curator Bruce Goldstein and musical theater writer Stephen Cole, co-author of her autobiography I Could Have Sung All Night, at 7:30pm on Monday, February 23.

Nixon is best known for dubbing the voices of such stars as Natalie Wood in West Side Story, Deborah Kerr in The King and I, and Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. She has also performed on Broadway in James Joyce’s The Dead, as well as in cabaret shows and concerts. She can be heard next month on the new studio recording of Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Allegro.
