Behind The Scenes Secrets: The Wizard Of Oz

Snow White Connection

In the Wizard of Oz, the Tin Man has his most famous scene to a musical number, “If I only Had A Heart”. If you listen closely you can hear a female voice saying “Wherefore art thou, Romeo?” The actress who whose voice is heard is actually the same woman who played Snow White two years before named Adriana Caselotti. In 1994, Adriana was named as a Disney Legend. In the early 90s when the Snow White Grotto at Disneyland was opened, Adriana sang “I’m Wishing” at age seventy five. Adriana lived five more years until 1997 when she died at the age of eighty.
