Trained as an opera singer, but was rarely--e.g. in The North Star (1943)--allowed to
use his fine singing voice in the movies. In the one musical he did
make, State Fair (1945), his voice was dubbed because the studio was unaware he
was a trained singer. He later explained that he didn't correct their
mistake because he felt the singer dubbing him probably needed the
money.
[after having received "permission" from Samuel Goldwyn to get married] About a
week before the wedding was planned I got a call from the casting
director: "Let your hair and your beard grow. You're going to be in a
western". So in the society column of the Santa Monica paper there was
a picture of the two of us, me with this beard, and it said, "Mr.
Andrews is an actor. Note the beard."
