My Take

What gets me about Ilene Woods is that one of the most recognizable voices in animation history belongs to someone most people couldn't name. She gave Cinderella her singing and speaking voice for Disney in 1950, and that performance has outlived nearly everyone who made it. Disney finally named her a Legend in 2003, which feels overdue for a role that defined a studio. I find it quietly poignant that she was born in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1929 and her work still plays daily somewhere in the world. A voice that became immortal while the person stayed anonymous.
