The role of Eliza Doolittle was originally played on Broadway by Dame Julie Andrews. However, she was denied the role because producer Jack L. Warner didn't think she was "known" enough as a movie actress. Many felt that this snub, as well as Audrey Hepburn's singing being dubbed, led to Hepburn's not being nominated for the Best Actress Oscar nomination. Andrews, however, was nominated that year for her role as Mary Poppins in Walt Disney's Mary Poppins (1964). She went on to win the Oscar for Best Actress and "thanked" Jack L. Warner in her acceptance speech.
