Miley's speaking voice sounds like the duck-voiced kid with Marylyn MONROE

Last edited Sat Jan 24, 2015, 02:12 PM - Edit history (3)

in Some Like It Hot(?) (= Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, see post #15, the kid's name George "Foghorn" WINSLOW). They've been running promos on GMA of an interview with her, and that voice!1 I mean, in my pop-song-hook song preferences, I like her singing voice in Wrecking Ball and Gaga has a resonant voice (Eyetalian, after all). (I think I'll stop here.)


*****ON EDIT: Now knowing the kid's name, this is what I wanted to do/separated-at-(audio)-birth:

I tried IMDb and it must have been a non-credited name -- that is, if it was even the correct movie (Some Like It Hot). Thanks in advance!1

In her case, it's probably some other class of chemicals and who-knows/bodily-fluids.
