Supposedly, Andrews kept it a secret that his singing was so good as he didn't want to be typecast as another Nelson Eddy. Another story re "State Fair" specifically is that he felt the guy dubbing him needed the work.
This guy was Ben Gage who also dubbed Victor Mature, George Montgomery and Cornel Wilde. And was the second husband of Esther Williams and the father of her three children. The children whom she basically gave up(along with much else)for the sake of next husband Fernando Lamas(of Ethel Merman/HAPPY HUNTING fame). |
