In a time when Disney classics are being reimagined for a new generation, Rachel Zegler is stepping into the iconic role of Snow White. With excitement building around her portrayal, she pays tribute to the original voice of Snow White, Adriana Caselotti.
Rise of Rachel Zegler
Rachel Zegler, 23, made a name for herself with her breakthrough role in the West Side Story remake, showcasing her talent as an actress and singer. This led to her landing the role of Snow White, a character defined by innocence and strength.
On March 16, Zegler honored Caselotti by sharing a vintage-style photo of herself on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the original Snow White: “Just had to pay homage to the original Snow White, Miss Adriana Caselotti. To whom I owe everything ❤️.” Zegler’s post not only respects the Disney legacy but also shows her commitment to the character’s history.
Zegler’s Instagram post included a black-and-white photo of Caselotti, paired with an image of herself in a curly bob and red bow—a clear nod to the original Snow White look, bridging the past and present.
The live-action Snow White stars Zegler as Snow White and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen, creating buzz ahead of its March 21 release. Recently, Zegler and Gadot attended premieres in Los Angeles and Spain, where Zegler performed Waiting on a Wish. Fans are eagerly anticipating the film.
Despite reports of tension between Zegler and Gadot due to differing political views, both actresses have remained professional and supportive during promotional events. Zegler’s strong connection with fans, especially through social media, has helped her build a loyal following.
Snow White represents timeless themes of hope and resilience. Zegler’s portrayal is expected to bring a fresh perspective while staying true to the essence of the beloved character. The original Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) marked Disney’s first animated feature, setting the stage for future classics. Zegler’s performance will honor that legacy while introducing Snow White to a new generation. Snow White is out in theaters this week.
