LOS ANGELES — Ilene Woods, the voice of Cinderella in Disney's animated classic, has died. She was 81.

Woods died Thursday of causes related to Alzheimer's disease at a nursing home in Canoga Park, her husband, Ed Shaughnessy, tells the Los Angeles Times.

Woods was an 18-year-old radio singer in 1948 when she recorded a demo for an upcoming Disney feature. Two days later, Walt Disney himself auditioned her and she went on to voice the title character's speaking and singing parts for 1950's "Cinderella," about a mistreated stepdaughter who finds her Prince Charming.

Woods sang on the Perry Como and Arthur Godfrey shows in the 1950s before retiring from show business in the early 1970s.

In addition to her husband of 47 years, she is survived by their son, a daughter from her first marriage, and three grandchildren.


Another truly sad loss.
