Jeremy Brett (1933–1995)


Trivia:

Incorrectly reported as not doing his own singing in My Fair Lady. This was only partially true. The opening chorus of "On the Street Where You Live" which was written especially just for the film, was indeed sung by Brett. But the main verse of the popular song was dubbed by Bill Shirley. Similarly, the opening chorus to "Show Me" was dubbed by Bill Shirley. See more trivia »
