The controversy over Audrey Hepburn being cast as Eliza Doolittle over Dame Julie Andrews, who originated the role on Broadway, went as far as journalists claiming there was a feud between the two actresses. This, of course, was untrue, as Hepburn and Andrews were friends in real life and had great respect for one another. The feud was debunked at The 37th Annual Academy Awards (1965), where Andrews recalled Hepburn telling her, "Julie, you should have done it, but I didn't have the guts to turn it down."
