Speaking of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves…

Disney could not find a voice for Snow White. Around 150 girls auditioned for the role of Snow White, including well-known actresses such as Deanna Durbin, whose voice seemed too old to Disney. One assistant to Disney called his friend and teacher vocal music Guido Cazelotti, complaining that Hollywood had no singing girls. Cazelotti wanted to offer to send their best to listen to the students, but it turned out that his 20-year old daughter Adriana overheard a conversation on another phone in the house, and she sang in a tube and has demonstrated her shrill girlish voice. Her father was confused and told his daughter to get away from the phone, but the casting director liked her voice and invited her to audition. After Walt Disney heard her, he immediately gave her a role.
