MY FAIR LADY
starstarstarstar
Though Audrey Hepburn, who received a fee of $1 million to play the role Julie Andrews originated on the Broadway stage, is less convincing in her transformation from guttersnipe to lady than Wendy Hiller was in PYGMALION (1938), the basis for MY FAIR LADY, this remains one of her best-loved roles. The story was drawn from the legend of Pygmalion and Galatea, and this is one of the rare classic musicals that doesn't have a title song — its name comes from the child's ditty ab... read more leave a comment

Question: It seems that many critics are not happy with the Academy for failing to recognize Brokeback Mountain as the right film at the right time. What are some other famous snubs that the Academy is still embarrassed about? Thanks.


Answer: I personally think the Academy is shameless, and I've never ever heard — nor do I think I ever will — an official spokesperson concede that its membership made a big fat mistake giving the best-picture Oscar to one film rather than another.

Question: I had a huge crush on Edward Mulhare before he was on Knight Rider, going way back to The Ghost & Mrs. Muir. My question is: How did Captain Gregg die in order to become a ghost? Thank you for your help.
