European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 11, 1990, Darmstadt, Hesse She rescues the Princea Snow White for the �?T90s by Bob Thomas associated press l Ater this month movie audiences will be Able to see one of the few a fated films of the violence prone summer season featuring a fresh spun Kier Snow White the animated feature is called happily Ever after the Disney people objected to anything similar to Snow White and the seven dwarfs. The fledgling 1st National film corp. Is releasing the filiation feature with the voices of Phyllis Diller de Asner Dom Deluise Sally Kellerman Carol Channing Tracey Ullman Malcolm Mcdowell and Zsa Zsa Gabor. The role of Snow White is Quot voiced by Irene Cara. Quot i done to think in be Ever done a cartoon feature before Quot said Cara of a visit to town from her Home in the los Angeles suburb of Altadena Calif. Quot but i think i did some kind of work for Hanna Barbara when i was young.�?�. Fie can be forgiven a lapse of memory Cara has been working in All forms of show business since the age of 5. She s done it All Broadway radio television movies recording Sori writing. Along the Way she has won an Academy award for the song what a feeling in Flash danc Etwo grammy and a Golden Globe her Snow White she emphasized Wilt differ from the 1937 Disney version Quot Idon t see any Point in doing a sequel otherwise. If you were going to do the same old Story Why bother it makes sense to have a new approach to Snow White in the �?~90s, especially. I think they be done a terrific Job of updating it and yet keeping it in the classic fairy tale look. Quot this Snow White is not the passive heroine who has to be rescued. Actually she s quite the heroine and she does the rescuing. She rescues the Prince and Battles the evil villain herself with the help of the Dwa Felles instead of the dwarfs the film does show women As mature aggressive and Strong when things happen in their lives. I think that a very apropos for the �?T90s.�?�. Such roles for women she lamented Are rarely found in mainstream films. And when they appear the movies often have been developed by their stars a Jessica Lange Jane Fonda Goldie hawn Etc. Cara herself has nurtured a project she Hopes to Start filming in october. She has been performing 26 of her 3t years beginning in her native new York. Quot there was a stage Mother Quot she said Quot and there always is with child actors. Mom was great. She was really committed to me and always encouraged me about my own Talent. In a a mulatto person a my Mother s White and my father s Black. Many times As a child going out on auditions i would hear her say a you re just As Beautiful As All those Blond Little girls Quot she would make me feel confident and 1 would get the part. Mom was very sensitive in that area and very helpful to me. My fathers a musician and t have a slew of cousins who All play instruments and vary from jazz to latin to classical Quot i started in the Spanish Field at age 5.1 worked As a regular on a television show similar to whal Johnny Carson is in the american Market. At 7,1 made my debut off Broadway. At 8,1 made my debut on Broadway in a play called a Maggie Flynn with Shirley. Jones and Jack Cassidy i went on to do More theater. And television and landed my first film role at 15.�?� Cara feels no regret about working throughout Hor childhood. Quot because we were a lower Middle income family i think if anything i gained from the experience a she said. Quot even though was sheltered from a lot of it my childhood was very much in a ghetto environment up in the Bronx where we were originally from. My career allowed me to experience other things in life. To go to school downtown with kids who were Well off to see More of the City than just being trapped up in the Fame in 1980, was a big turning Point for the actress who became a recording artist and movie name with her Rote As a struggling student at new Yorkus High school for the performing arts. She also scored As Alex Haleys Mother in roots the next generation. Quot it was a fabulous role for me because i played from 14 to 36,�?� she recalled. Quot it was a Lovely Challenge and i got to work with All those Brilliant artists Black and White alike. It meant a lot to be part of such an important piece of the Flash dance song which she co wrote with Giorgio Moroder and Keith Forsey was another step Forward. Friends suggested she could have played the Lead role but she says Quot in a glad i did no to get it because it would have been too similar to Fame. I thought Jennifer Beals did a Lovely Job and i was glad to see another mulatto actress out there and actress Irene Cara will be heard As the voice of Snow White to a new animated movie version of the classic fairy tale to be released this summer titled a happily Ever after.
