The singing voice for Natalie Wood as Maria in West Side Story (1961).

Answer 3

Marni Nixon, who provided the singing voice for Natalie Wood in West Side Story and Julie Andrews in The Sound of Music. She also provided the singing voice for Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and, I believe, Deborah Kerr in The King and I.
