These Cinderella Cast Then Vs. Now Photos Will Make You Cling To The Magic Of 1997

Millennials will fondly remember Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella from 1997. This live-action version of Cinderella, which is now streaming on Disney+, was one of the first live-action remakes of its kind and made history for its casting.

Brandy, who played the titular character, and Paolo Montalbán, who co-starred as Prince Christopher, made headlines for being spectacularly cast. The film included the first Black Cinderella and Fairy Godmother (played by Whitney Houston) as well as a Filipino-American prince.
