Maximal correlation

This is a question about the correlation. Let X,Y be two Gaussion random variable N(0,1) with correlation β, then prove that the best constant of Cauchy inequality is 
Cov(f(X),g(Y))|β|Var(f(X))Var(g(Y)).

In fact, one can define the maximal correlation of random variable by the best constant above and of course it should be bigger than β. Let us remark how to prove the inequality above quickly. We can use the expansion by Hermit polynomial that we have 
E[Hn(X)Hm(Y)]=δn,m(E1n![XY])n.
Then a centered L2 functions have projection on H0 zero. Then we have 
E[f(X)g(Y)]=n=1f,Hng,Hn1n!βn|β|n=1f,Hn21n!n=1g,Hn21n!β|Var(f(X))Var(g(Y)).
This concludes the proof.
