Marni gets no credit for this; her Lady contract even forbids her to talk about her work. She did, however, go to bat for a slice of the royalties on the West Side Story album and won her fair share. But, she says, "it gets harder and harder to adapt yourself to the person you're dubbing. Eventually you want to play the character yourself." Last week Marni Nixon was actually mouthing the words as well as singing them. Appearing with the Seattle Symphony in Schoenberg's Pierrot Lunaire and the Poulenc-Cocteau short opera, The Human Voice...

Rival players hung by one hand from the dugout roof when he came to bat, scratching their armpits with the other. "Hey, Yog," they yelled. "You still sleeping in trees?" One opposing catcher used to watch Yogi step into the batting cage, then bellow: "Quick, men! Shut the gate! You got him." TV even got into the act with a "Yogi Bear" cartoon series about an animal that walks like...
