An ode to paolomontalban, who introduced us to a new kind of prince charming in 'Cinderella'
In Look Back at It, we revisit pop culture gems of the past and see if they're still relevant and worthy of their designated icon status in our now wildly different world.
Brandy Norwood and Whitney Houston's Cinderella had all the elements to create a pop culture classic: Norwood and Houston's ethereal vocals, Whoopi Goldberg and Victor Garber's perplexing parentage of Paolo Montalban, and, of course, George Constanza's mid-Seinfeld tenure as Prince Christopher's butler in the prince's quest to find the owner of the fable's famed glass slipper.
In the film's climactic scene, Prince Christopher and Cinderella command the ballroom as they croon to Rodgers and Hammerstein's"Ten Minutes Ago" while revelers watch in awe. Even in adulthood, it's my favorite scene to revisit. In perhaps the most quintessential scene of the fairytale, Prince Christopher simply just… is. Unlike the typecast actors that came before him, the prince's story line and character arc aren't contingent on his Asian identity.
