Ilene Woods(1929-2010)

She revealed in a 1995 interview for Cinderella that when the film was released in 1950 she took her daughter Stephanie who was 3 at the time to the premiere and when the movie came on Stephanie screamed in the theater My mommy is Cinderella! And two old ladies sitting behind them turned to each other and said Isn't that sweet! She thinks her mother is Cinderella!.

[on singing the Oh Sing Sweet Nightingale music number for the Cinderella film] It was such a beautiful sequence, Cinderella scrubbing the floor and each time a soap bubble would rise with another image of Cinderella, so would another voice. When we heard the finished product, Walt kidded, ‘How about that? All of these years I’ve been paying three salaries for the Andrews Sisters, when I could have only paid one for you!’
