July 1, 1953 –
The Howard Hawk musical comedy, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, starring Jane Russell and Marilyn Monroe premiered in Atlantic City on this date
According to Marni Nixon, the studio initially wanted Marilyn Monroe’s entire voice dubbed, as they thought her voice was silly. Nixon thought that was “awful“, as she felt Monroe’s voice suited her persona so beautifully. Nixon told The New York Times in March 2007 that she ended up only dubbing the operatic “no, no, nos” at the beginning of the song and the phrase “these rocks don’t lose their shape“.
