Remember when Debbie Reynolds provides the voice for silent screen star...

[grasswire]

...in "Singing In The Rain"?

I keep envisioning the same thing happening with Palin tonight. Someone standing just off camera actually speaking, so that America doesn't have to hear Palin's ear-cracking screech.

1. The irony was that the blonde was actually singing

And Debbie Reynolds was pretending to be providing her voice.

Or so I read, long ago.

2. Here ya go.

In the "Would You" number, Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds) is dubbing the voice of Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen) because Lina's voice is shrill and screechy. However, it's not Reynolds who is really speaking, it's Jean Hagen herself, who actually had a beautiful deep, rich voice. So you have Jean Hagen dubbing Debbie Reynolds dubbing Jean Hagen. And when Debbie is supposedly dubbing Jean's singing of "Would You", the voice you hear singing actually belongs to Betty Noyes, who had a much richer singing voice than Debbie.

4. Even more complicated than I remembered

Thanks for that info.
