Glass Slipper

On the heels of her Oscar-nominated performance in 1953's "Lili," a perfectly charming Leslie Caron stepped into the lead of this stylish adaptation of the Cinderella fairy tale. She portrays Ella, plain-Jane stepsister to two beautiful but mean-spirited siblings, whose mother arranges wealthy marriages for her natural daughters, but can't be bothered trying to find a fellow for Ella.
