The main character of the animated film Alice In Wonderland (1951) was based on a real 10-year-old girl Kathryn Beaumont. First she appeared in the 1948 film On An Island With You and after that she was the model for Alice. She helped the animators by acting out scenes from the cartoon to make the animation look more realistic. Also, the iconic scene of Alice falling down the rabbit hole was inspired by a jump of a stool.
