Mary Costa: The Sleeping Princess

[@Father_of_Death]

Her voice sounds like Aurora still but if she was a grandma. It's beautiful.

[@psgamer-0199]

True. I LOVE IT💗

[@Ka_orellana]

She does 🥺💗

[@haileeraestout5567]

She's Still Alive

[@buka.a]

She’s the last of the OG Disney era. I don’t want her to go 🥹

[@mikhailabunidal9146]

Me neither , sad that she refuses to answer and receive fan 📨 from her fans since now that she's in her early 90s wants to live her final yrs in her 🏡state of Tennessee

[@camara1194]

It says she's the last voice actress of the three Disney princesses in Walt Disney's lifetime. Or were the other two Disney princesses?

Excellent biography Dizographies! Mary Costa is 91, almost pushing 92 years old! Being a big Sleeping Beauty fan, she will always be Princess Aurora to me!! Great video!

[@mikhailabunidal9146]

She just turned 93 , 5 mnths ago on April 5th 2023

[@JustRead850]

​@mikhailabunidal9146, the voice actress of Aroura is still alive?

[@Itz_luigi-h6h]

​@@JustRead850yes

[@maryannangros8834]

Me too!!

[@brcuellar625]

I met Paige O Hara a couple of years ago and she loved my choice of poster for her to sign. It was the original movie poster. She took a picture of it and told me “I can’t wait to show this to Sleeping Beauty” ❤ Ariel, Belle, and Sleeping Beauty continue to talk to each other.

[@jostockton.]

That's surprising to know because Paige is very adamant that Belle is superior to the other princesses, particularly the ones before her.

[@puttentanesame6687]

Imagine being blessed with such a voice. And then be discovered by people who bring you wealth, world renown and the ability to give back through charities. Doesn't get much better than that.

[@opinian1068]

Did an event with her in the 90's while working for Disney. So classy, so kind, and STUNNING at her age. One of my best memories with the company.

[@shereadsmysteries]

Aurora is my favorite and gets forgotten so often. I really loved watching this!

[@laurawilliams393]

She is a true legend. She just gifted our 6 year old son a gift from a true Disney princess that will exceed anything else that he may encounter.

[@lunatickgeo]

I think it's fitting that Flora and Fauna gifted Aurora with the gifts of song and beauty and Mary Costa has both!

[@Mintylight]

Such effortless voice, she never sounds strained in any way. I adore her. And my fave Disney movie artistically.

[@yessa1132]

Her voice is so strong, smooth, and beautiful

[@crystalheart9]

I've seen several interviews with Mary Costa and she is down to earth and still so beautiful and talented.

[@hayleyyoung5425]

Her vocal control is truly amazing! Thanks for such an informative biography!

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Mary Costa voice wise is my favourite out of all of the Disney Princess singing voices and she remains a constant inspiration.

[@vivian29811]

I really really love Mary Costa voice for Aurora's, she's my favorite 🥰 Thank You for this!

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

Idea: The next person should be Helene Stanley, Aurora's live action model, I wanna know her story.

[@Dizographies]

Its funny you should say that.....great minds yo :D

[@Thomas_H._Smith]

@@Dizographies Well to be fair, I was the one who suggested that.

[@LIZMGD]

i was waiting for this one! thank you. I would have loved Mary to perform as Aurora once again in Breaking Ralph's cameo, she has an impressive voice!

[@Dizographies]

I'm glad you like it! I agree, it would have been cool to see her in Ralph Breaks the Internet, but Alas...(Also yes...her voice is AMAZING!)

[@timlemmens1087]

Not to be rude, but I think that Disney forgot she is still alive.

[@dynasty0019]

It would’ve been nice, she is after all the last Classic-era Disney Princess still alive.

[@jostockton.]

​@@timlemmens1087they did 😢 Aurora's voice actor in the film actually said she was. None of these people even bother to look her up.

[@timlemmens1087]

@@jostockton. Very unfortunate, but it's also nice to see Kate Higgins getting a chance to play the role on the big screen.

[@iankelley5114]

She very easily could have played Christine in an adaptation of The Phantom of the Opera.

[@psgamer-0199]

Oh my gosh!! I'm crying at what a beautiful person Mary is 😭😭😭 Her voice is truly warmth 😭😭😭😭 I hate how Disney doesn't make movies like it used to. The way Mary was casted, the feedback and advice she was given to perform Aurora, it's all so beautiful and authentic. God bless Mrs. Costa.

[@allenjones3130]

Mary's vocal characterization of Princess Aurora is a classic! I regret that aside from Musetta in "La Boheme" for RCA Records, Mary made no commercial recordings of complete operas.

[@KendrickHarrisKenfinity]

"I know you", so it's awesome to find out more soothing and warm-voiced singer/performer.🎙👸🏼🎵🎶☀️ Awesome channel and deep dives into the wonderful world. Stay safe and keep it up!

[@chinchinlangala9150]

I love her voice of Aurora and my favorite original opera singer is Mary Costa 😍

[@tropical21qtpie]

This woman's voice touched my heart as a young girl...because of her effortless vocal beauty & tonal clarity she had as Princess Aurora, I am now fulfilling my childhood dream of taking pro vocal coaching...2.5 yrs now fulfilling that dream for my Inner Child...I'll forever be grateful to Lady Costa for musing my music-lover's heart...#DisneyPrincessRoyalty #DisneyLegend 🥹🫶🙌👑🌌🎙🎼🥰

[@ImperfectPianist6615]

I had no idea she sang for JFK's memorial, that's amazing. I love her opera recordings, wish there were more.

[@jostockton.]

It pains me that disney disrespects Mary so much by pretending she doesn't exist. Aurora's own VA in Ralph Breaks the Internet thought she was dead!! She gave Aurora so much life, worked with Walt himself as well as legendary animators, and Disney just couldn't care less that such an icon is still among us. Such a wasted opportunity to at least give her a cameo or honor her in some way.

[@juliebannerman-wu4lp]

Sleeping beauties is my favorite Walt Disney movie

[@matthewhedrichjr.5445]

I can’t wait for you to talk about Hans Conried and his duel role (George Darling and Captain Hook) in Peter Pan and for his never before/uncredited work on Sleeping Beauty as a model for King Stefan and supposedly the uncredited/high pitched voice of one of his servants, Lord Duke and explain why the voice of Duke is never ever credited or solved due to Conried himself getting replaced by Taylor Holmes for the voice role of Stefan in almost the similar matter to the assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby

[@kingsgirl1182]

My favorite ❤️

[@nickdalby2168]

Yeah rest in peace Mary costa the voice of princess aurora sleeping beauty

[@zjjir]

this was my favorite disney movie as a child, i felt closest to aurora of all the disney princesses. it's so interesting to learn about how the movies were made, and the people who made them possible. so much talent.

[@amynazza]

I think Mary would say Aurora's dress was supposed to be pink. 😜

[@jace3811]

if her voice is so beautiful then why does Princess Aurora have the least amount of screentime and lines of any disney princess, disney got some explaining to do

[@Dizographies]

Agreed. They spent so much time on beautiful backgrounds they forgot about character development :/

[@lookbehindyourback6910]

@@Dizographies because aurora role is being the damsel in distress, being curse to sleep but still being the symbol of hope and love to the kingdom and love ones. Shes the source of faith to defeat maleficent in the end and encourage the 3 fairies and prince philip to make good triumph in the end. So yeah shes still an important character in the story even with a passive role. Its ok not to being am active character since that role still have a purpose in the bigger picture and did not hinder any characters progress nor the story but actively push others to defeat the big bad. Thats why i think its sad that aurora role always being look down by people and underappreciated

[@jace3811]

Now that i think about it she falls asleep right before the sun sets so they are basically celebrating her half-death

[@VinMar-m6w]

Psst! The three fairies are the main characters in this film. Aurora is merely the title character, which isn't always the protagonist (e.g., _The Wizard of Oz)._

Mary Costa is everything feminists are not and that's why we love Princess Aurora. The Sleeping Beauty movie is a Prince Philip movie given he had the most screen time and defeats Maleficent.
