Twenty-five years ago, Brandy Norwood made what some might have considered the impossible possible by becoming the first Black actor to portray Cinderella onscreen.
On Tuesday night, Brandy and her "Cinderella" co-stars reflected on the lasting cultural impact of their take on the classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical for an ABC reunion special looking back on the TV movie's 1997 release.
"I knew that this was so great for the world to see, especially Black people," Brandy said in the special, which is now available to stream on Hulu. "She represented a culture that is beautiful, and I just so appreciated that because that was so much a part of what I wanted to bring to Cinderella."
