Fun Book Tells Short, Entertaining Hollywood Stories.

Walt Disney felt the evil queen/peddler woman was the key element that would make or break Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in 1937. The princess was sympathetic, the little guys were humorous, but the villain had to be horrifying to keep the audience interested. The evil monarch’s vocals were performed by a renowned stage professional named Lucille La Verne, whose haughty tone was perfect for the beautiful queen. The Disney staff was less satisfied by La Verne’s
interpretation of the villain after she magically transformed into the haggish peddler woman. After several misfires, she held up her hand to stop the taping. “Wait, I have an idea!” Lucille left the recording room for a few minutes then returned. “I’m ready.”
The dialogue was now delivered in a way that chilled and thrilled her small audience at the studio. After the performance, there was applause and someone asked what La Verne did during the break. The actress smiled and said, “I took my teeth out!”
