In his book "No Minor Chords," André Previn (music director on this movie) offers a different take on how Anita Gordon came to dub the singing of Jean Seberg. He recalled watching an old movie on television and being impressed with the voice used to dub Jeanne Crain. The next morning, the music department at Twentieth Century-Fox told him it had been Anita Gordon, but they had no phone number, just an old address. He then called Western Union to send a telegram to her at that address and the person to whom he was speaking said she was Anita Gordon. He invited her to Paramount Pictures the next day and engaged her to dub Seberg. Like many anecdotes in his memoir, Previn was off base. Gordon never dubbed Jeanne Crain in any of the latter's pictures. Previn was likely recalling Anita Ellis, who did indeed sing for Crain in Gentleman Marry Brunettes (1955) (though this was not a Fox picture). What makes Previn's memory even less likely is the fact that he himself selected Anita Ellis to dub Vera-Ellen in MGM's Three Little Words (1950) and would therefore have been familiar with her instrument. In any case, it is Gordon, not Ellis, who dubbed Seberg in Paint Your Wagon (1969).
