Julie Andrews was the original My Fair Lady on Broadway.  She did not get the movie version. Movie studio did not think she was a big enough star.  The role went to the unsinging Audrey Hepburn.  What was funny was Audrey because she did not sing herself was not nominated for an oscar. Julie Andrew won the oscar that same year for Mary Poppins.  So My Fair Lady was Best Picture, Rex Harrison was Best Actor and Julie Rex's co star on Broadway was Best Actress.  So all of the photo's from Oscar night featured the original Broadway cast of My Fair Lady.
