It sounds like her -- you can even hear a few times some pre-nodes in her delivery of the song. Doesn't anyone ever notice that Blythe Danner at certain points in her career can barely talk without obvious cracks in her speaking voice? I think I read somewhere that she started as a soprano and some time after appearing to great success and a Tony in the non-musical "Butterflies Are Free" on Broadway somehow or somewhere got into big vocal problems (with a voice teacher maybe). I always liked her as an actress though and always thought she was lovely, but her speaking voice sometimes got in her way.

I've mentioned here that Danner had been in musicals before she became a name thanks to Butterflies Are Free. She had been a soprano. A good friend was in a musical with her in those days. She damaged her voice doing Butterflies. I'm linking a page from an interview with her where she discusses this.
