Discovered by George Burns, Ann-Margret began her career at the age of twenty as Bette Davis' daughter in the film "A Pocketful of Miracles," and immediately landed her first starring role in the film "Bye-Bye Birdie." Her feature film credits include "Cincinnati Kid," "State Fair," "Viva Las Vegas," "Middle Age Crazy" and "Magic."

as Cinderella

One of the original Five Women Who Shaped the Course of History in the nine kingdoms, Cinderella started out with a humble background. Her kind mother died when she was very young. Soon after, her father took another wife, who brought with her two daughters. Cinderella’s new stepsisters were beautiful of face but vile of heart and treated her cruelly.

When the King threw a grand ball in his son’s honor, Cinderella met and fell in love with the Prince. Cinderella left the ball early, leaving a glass slipper behind. The prince pursued her ardently, using the slipper size to find her, and they were married soon after.

As Queen, Cinderella was loved by all and admired across the land for her beauty and generosity. She and the Prince had a lovely daughter named Ashley. Ashely grew up to marry Snow White’s son in the most celebrated wedding ever seen in the nine kingdoms.

But one dark day, Ashley died mysteriously in her sleep. Overcome by grief, Cinderella became a recluse and was rarely seen outside her castle. Her public appearances became fewer and fewer as the dark times descended upon the nine kingdoms and eventually, near the time Snow White walked away into the snow, Cinderella vanished from public life altogether. No one has seen her for nearly forty years.

Although it is rumored that the Queen has died or left the nine kingdoms, many believe that she is just waiting for the return of better times, for a sign of change. A proud line of mice, descendent from the original mice that assisted Cinderella before she was a princess, have kept in touch with her over the years, but they have refused to divulge any information regarding her situation. Even life imprisonment hasn’t convinced the mice to confess.
