Marion Duckworth Smith sometimes wears a gold pin on her blouse that reads “Lady Legacy.” This accessory, which was given to her in 2004 by Henry Stern of New York City’s Historic House Trust, is the first clue that she knows something about what can be preserved over time and what fades away.
Look at Disney, creeping beyond the classics they’ve already adapted! Oh but don’t worry, they’ll be revising the original tale so it’s closer to the animated movie everyone knows. Synergy, babe.
Not that Disney had ever dialed it back on the princess thing, but the recent mania surrounding Frozen has really amped it up, making Elsa a new classic, right up there with Cinderella. But the true test of a Disney princess' popularity and staying power is not how much money she earns for Disney, but how much she…

I just saw Brave, and it got me thinking about the grand tradition of Disney princesses. Brave is a Pixar movie, and its heroine, Merida, is a fairy-tale feminist. Disney princesses for the most part, are not. Most need to be rescued by their male love interests; almost all the Disney Princess movies end in marriage…
James Franco, the star of Sonny as well as some other less-naked movies, wrote a full-blown academic analysis of Kristen Stewart's performance in Snow White and the Huntsman that he may or may not have "borrowed" from one of his NYU film students, adding a little something personal about how much he misses his nana so…
If it seemed like she'd disappeared for a while, Charlize Theron has stormed back to Hollywood relevance with a hit summer movie — Snow White and the Huntsman, which also stars Kristen Stewart and Chris I-Let-My-Biceps-Act-For-Me Hemsworth, grossed $56.3 million, beating Men in Black...Again ($29.3 million) and The…
Snow White And The Huntsman and a second Snow White project, now called Mirror Mirror, are set to hit theaters next year. Both claim to offer a new "twist" on the centuries-old tale. But despite looking at the story in a new way, both films feature overwhelmingly white casts. How new and twisty.
Yes, two other studios are producing Snow White movies, but Disney will not be left out! So get ready for The Order Of The Seven, a revisionist project to be directed by Michael Gracey.
Last week we saw an image from the Snow White movie directed by Tarsem Singh and starring Lily Collins, which definitely looked like a sweet, princessy fairy tale. But the Kristen Stewart version — directed by Rupert Sanders and produced by Joe Roth, who's partly responsible for the 3D Alice in Wonderland — has a…
The new Snow White movie is sure to be a visual feast, since it's directed by Tarsem Singh, responsible for vivid and surreal films like The Fall and The Cell. Lilly Collins (daughter of Phil), who plays the fairest of them all, exclaims,"I keep saying to everyone I feel like I'm walking into a snow globe, a fairy…
The Social Network's Armie Hammer has signed on to play Prince Andrew Alcott in the The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. Well, he definitely has the molded plastic dream hair. Always a good place to start.
Not one but two new "Snow White" movies are in the works, with all kinds of weird casting being batted around. Who would you choose?
In the latest of Second City's Cartoon Princess videos, Snow White discusses the importance of being fair, why you should never eat fruit, and notes, "you know you've made it as the prettiest person when everyone wants to kill you. "
The United States has no monarchy. We pride ourselves on being a democratic society, and often seem to strive towards meritocracy. But now that there's going to be a royal wedding in the UK, we are all in a tizzy!

"It was a man's world all over the place," says one of the women who helped bring Snow White to life. "The stars were the beauties who sang and wiggled their fannies around-that's all girls were useful for." [VF]
