So, I take it wwh is correct in his masterful deduction.
Did Hepburn burn something?

Audrey Hepburn's singing in My Fair Lady was dubbed by Marni Nixon. Hepburn recorded the songs in MFL, and (I have seen clips of her original performances) it was passable singing, but the producers decided to dub it anyway. Marni Nixon also dubbed for Natalie Wood in West Side Story.
Dub arose as a shortening and alteration of double.

I owned in earlier years both a 1972 Datsun 250Z and a 1974 Datsun 260Z, two-seater sports coupes. But what I really wanted was the Japanese model, which had right hand drive and was dubbed a Fairlady. I've no idea why it had that model name.
I named the first one Eliza and the second one Audrey, because they were both my Fairladies.
A friend had one that had become something of a street rod. He tucked a 350 cubic inch V-8 into it, and it fairly screamed. His personlized license plate said DESIRE. Yep. A street car named DESIRE. YCLIU!

If anyone has not seen Vivien Leigh in this, please do not miss it. Also, she is at her best in "Waterloo Bridge," which I unequivocally recommend if you haven't seen that one.
Pardon the tangent, but these jewels are too good to pass by, especially with so much trash being made today...
