The Sleeping Beauty is a 1959 Disney’s animated movie that is based on Charles Perrault's fairy tale of the same name. The main character is Aurora and Disney actually struggled to find a voice actress that suited the character. Weirdly enough, there was put so much effort into perfecting the voice and the accent for the singer Mary Costa only to have 18 lines of dialogue and the least amount of screen time of all speaking main characters in full-length Disney movies.

The appearance of Aurora was partially based on Audrey Hepburn, as a matter of fact, it was her slender figure and tiny waist that inspired Aurora’s physique. But she got her facial features, dance moves, elegance and grace from her live-action model Helene Stanley.
