Who is Adrianna Caselotti? You've heard her.

[trof]

She is the voice of Snow White in Disney's original FIRST (1937) feature length animation, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".

The movie took 3 years to animate and film.
She worked for "a week or two".
Her name was not in the credits.
She was paid $14,000 for her work and some subsequent personal appearances.

"Walt drove me home twice, in his little old Essex.

It was the middle of the depression and sometimes I didn't have carfare. One day he took me to a restaurant across the street from the studio for lunch. 'Adrianna, see what a nice lunch we can have for only 50 cents? You can always come in here and eat.'
What he didn't know was that I didn't have fifty cents. Until I started getting paid each day I worked I only had ten or fifteen cents."

When the Tin Woodman sings, "If I Only Had A Heart", the part where you hear a girl's voice saying "Wherefore art thou, Romeo", that's Adriana Caselotti.
