Search: disney character modeled
Why: I am reading "6 Beloved Characters That Had Undiagnosed Mental Illnesses" on Cracked. Nevermind that I have never seen Beauty and the Beast (but, in fact, recorded it this past weekend and sat down to watch it for the first time ever just last night [but did not make it past the opening credits because Chandler wouldn't shut up about Angela Lansbury]), but I just noticed that she sort of looks like a Kardashian.
Answer: Oho, jackpot! There's a whole list of Disney Characters and Who They Were Modeled After. Get ready to learn, everyone (even though many of these are just bodies, not face). First of all:
Belle (Beauty & the Beast) - Audrey Hepburn and Vivien Leigh
(also pictured: what those 2 would look like if they mated)but also!
Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) - Audrey Hepburn
Esmerelda (The Hunchback of Notre Dame) - Demi Moore (who also voiced her)
Ariel (The Little Mermaid) - Alyssa Milano
Ursula (The Little Mermaid) - Divine
Tinkerbell (Peter Pan) - dancer and mime Margaret Kerry
The Evil Queen (Snow White) - Helen Gahagan in the film She (1935)
Snow White (Snow White and the Seven Dwarves) - dancer Marge Champion (also the model for the Blue Fairy in Pinocchio and the Dancing Hippo in Fantasia)
and some boring ones:
Alice (Alice In Wonderland) - Kathryn Beaumont (her voice, and also Wendy in Peter Pan)
Captain Hook (Peter Pan) - Hans Conried (who also voiced him) & a Spanish King
Pocahontas (Pocahontas) – Irene Bedard (who also voiced her)
Jasmine (Aladdin) - Beth Henn, animator Mark Henn sister

The More You Know: And also:
Peter Pan (Peter Pan) - Bobby Driscoll
who also played the little dandy kid in Song of the South!!
and is therefore tied up in 2 of my favorite things at Disneyland, Splash Mountain and this sign.
