Elizabeth "Betty" Noyes Hand (October 11, 1912 – December 24, 1987) was a singer and actress best known for dubbing the singing voice of Debbie Reynolds in the film ''Singin' in the Rain'' (1952). Today, this is a well-known example of dubbing in a movie musical; Debbie Reynolds' character in Singin' in the Rain was supposedly dubbing for another character. She is also known for singing the song "Baby Mine" in the Disney film ''Dumbo'' (1941), which was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song. However she was not given screen credit for this performance (no voice actors were for ''Dumbo''). She began her career in 1938 in "The Debutantes", a trio of three young women in the Ted Fio Rito big band. They made the original recording of "My Little Grass Shack in Kealakekua, Hawaii." In 1947, she was in the quartet, "The Girlfriends", a regular feature on several NBC Radio programs, including ''The Bill Goodwin Show'', ''The Carnation Hour'', and with Bing Crosby. Norma Zimmer, Lawrence Welk's "Champagne Lady", was also in the group. Noyes and other members of the quartet became "First Call" studio singers and can be heard on most movie musicals for two decades, including ''The Wizard of Oz'' (1939), ''White Christmas'' (1954), and ''The Sound of Music'' (1965). She also appeared on-camera in several movies and television series, including regular appearances on ''The Dinah Shore Show'' and an episode of ''I Love Lucy'' titled "Lucy Goes to Scotland." She appeared as a mother who sings a brief solo in the television movie ''Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella'' (1965) 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Cinderella (TV Movie 1965) - IMDb )〕 along with fellow dubber Bill Lee. On-screen movie credits include ''I Married an Angel'' (1942), the Don Knotts comedy ''The Love God?'' (1969), and Abbott and Costello's ''Jack and the Beanstalk'' (1952). Other singing credits include recordings with Ken Darby and Jack Halloren, and singing and voice work for the "Ice Follies". ==Personal life== Betty Noyes was married to Milton Hand, a football and PE coach at Los Angeles City College. They had two daughters, Susan and Deborah. The family lived in Studio City, CA, and she and her husband eventually retired to Balboa Island, CA. Her daughter Susan, a violinist, became a teacher in Tehachapi, CA and the mother of three children. Deborah became a reporter for the ''Christian Science Monitor'' and eventually the mayor of Tehachapi. Betty's name has sometimes been incorrectly reported as Betty Royce, including in Debbie Reynolds' own autobiography.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Voice in 'Singin' ' - Los Angeles Times )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Betty Noyes」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
