Brandy Norwood Is Loving Her “Resurgence” with Her Return as Cinderella: “I’m Still Inspired”


After first playing the role for Disney in 1997, the performer is back opposite original co-star Paolo Montalban in 'Descendants: The Rise of Red' — and she has an A24 movie waiting in the wings, too.

Jason Alexander, Paolo Montalban, Whitney Houston, Brandy, Bernadette Peters, Natalie Deselle and Veanne Cox in ABC’s Cinderella(1997). The 1997 version of Cinderella — with a cast that also included Whitney Houston, Whoopi Goldberg and Bernadette Peters — continues to be fondly remembered and has earned praise for featuring people of color in a number of lead roles. As for the tease at the end of Descendants: The Rise of Red that appears to promise a follow-up film, Norwood hints that she’s been involved in talks to return again as Cinderella.
