shareI agree.
shareeven though she lip synced she was amazing as Maria
she was such a big actress at that time
I thought that Natalie Wood did well as Maria, too. Mainly due to my intense love for the film, but also partly due to the fact that dubbing in films was quite common back during the period when West Side Story had first come out and was the heyday of its freshness, newness and popularity, I'm more than willing to overlook the dubbing in this movie,
shareI loved her to pieces, but I prefer Josephine Scaglione from the revival
shareJosephine Scaglione from the Broadway revival of West Side Story was fine, in her role as Maria, but her voice was a bit shrill, especially on the really high notes.
shareShe was perfect. She's better than Natalie.
I love you, Kristen Stewart. :) You are so beautiful and talented. I would love to perform with you.
