Films That Nearly Ruined Actors’ Careers

Snow White – Adriana Caselotti

Adriana Caselotti’s indelible mark was etched into the collective consciousness through her portrayal of Snow White in Disney’s iconic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.” While her name might not immediately spring to mind, her voice as Snow White remains unmistakably familiar. Regrettably, this recognition proved to be a double-edged sword.

Although deemed the fairest in the land, Caselotti encountered challenges in securing roles following her portrayal of Snow White. Her distinct voice became both her hallmark and hindrance. Prospective producers and directors were cautious about casting her, fearing that no matter the character she embodied, Snow White’s timbre would resound the moment she uttered a word.
