Mitch Evans

Auditions

During the week of March 15, 1978, an ad appeared in the Hollywood Variety that the producers of films Cinderella (1977) and Fairy Tales (1978) were on the talent search for their new motion picture Fairytales Part II. They were looking for "the world's sexiest woman" for the role of Sleeping Beauty, "the world's sexiest man for the co-starring role of Prince Charming and "the world's most unusual act or personality". Two sets were constructed in a Hollywood studio: a medieval dungeon and a French boudoir. Across from these sets was a mirrored wall behind which cameras and sound equipment was concealed. Hundreds of people responded to the advertisement and on March 25 the two days of auditions began.
