Oscar Context
In 1964, the Best Actress winner was Julie Andrews, for another musical, Mary Poppins.” “My Fair Lady” swept most of the Oscars, including the technical categories for which “Molly Brown” was nominated. It's likely that Reynolds got the nomination spot that Oscar observers thought belonged to Audrey Hepburn.
