Julie was not well known for her on-screen appearances, and Mr. Warner wanted someone who would bring in the most money to be the film's star. It was amazing though that they picked looks over talent. Audrey could not sing a note. All her tracks were done by Marni Nixon for the movie version. Julie was the first choice for the role of Eliza Doolittle, but Warner Brothers, which had paid $5 million for the rights to the musical, didn't want to risk a stage actress in the central role of a $17-million film, despite lobbying from Lerner himself.

It is also reported that Jack Warner didn't think Andrews would be photogenic enough. He invited her to do a screen test, but she refused, so he forgot about her altogether.

In Greek mythology, Pygmalion, the king of Cyprus, found so much fault in womankind that he resolved to live unmarried. But after painstakingly sculpting a statue of a beautiful woman that he named Galatea, he came to regard his creation as so perfect that he fell in love with her. In 1913, Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw adapted the myth to modern-day England and used his play about a phonetics professor's efforts to refine the speech and manner of a cockney flower girl for life among the gentry as a platform for social critique, demonstrating the artificiality of class distinctions in turn-of-the-century British society.
My Fair Lady was based on the myth of Pygmalion.

In a very, very loose sense it is based on the Greek legend of Pygmalion which dealt with a statue brought to life by Venus to please a love-frustrated sculptor. There are some tie-ins with the more- indeed serious and tragic novel Svengali, where a hypnotist effectively brainwashes a singer- and cons her into being his love- but they really don"t get along- as stated unlike ( MFL) it ends tragiclally. the Title of the Lerner & Loewe show is, of course borrowed from the Nursery rhyme about London Bridge, which, by the way no longer exists- portions of it were relocated to Arizona in the early seventies.
