"I used to be Snow White but I drifted"

Not really sure if Mae West was telling the truth but these two ladies actually were Snow White.

Telling her story...


Dancing

Singing...

Crying..

Biting...


Marjorie Belcher also known as Marge Champion was only a teenager when she was chosen as the model for Snow White's movements.
(She later modelled for the Blue Fairy in "Pinoccio" and the Dancing Hippo in "Fantasia")
Marge and her second husband (her first husband Art Babbitt was a top animator for Disney...) Gower Champion teamed up and danced in many successful MGM musicals during the 40's and 50's such as "Showboat" and "Lovely to look at".



All dressed up..

Adriana Caselotti was the voice of Snow White.
Overhearing a conversation between her father who was a voice coach and a casting director for Disney, the 19-year-old Adriana got on the phone and began to sing and talk in a young girls voice. The embarrassed father ordered her of the phone, but not before the casting director had invited her to audition. After Walt heard her the rest was history...







On a sidenote... Those shoes! Snow White lit the spark of my shoefetish! Before I had a Barbie doll with perfect tiny plastic shoes I saw Snow White and her to-die-for bow pumps and wanted them! To this day I still search for the perfect Snow White shoes -I still haven't found them ... Maybe someday I'll have to have them made for me...
