Once upon a time, the movie Ever After: A Cinderella Story hit theaters in 1998 — and the film’s star-studded cast has been up to a lot since their time in fairy tale France.
Directed by Andy Tennant, Drew Barrymore starred as the movie’s leading lady, Danielle, who much like the character she inspires, Cinderella, lives with her evil stepmother, Rodmilla (Anjelica Huston) and stepsisters Marguerite (Megan Dodds) and Jacqueline (Melanie Lynskey), in 16th century France. Plus, the story swaps out the traditional fairy godmother for the historical figure Leonardo da Vinci (Patrick Godfrey).
Unlike the Grimm Brothers’ fictional heroine, Danielle proves she’s no damsel in distress, despite falling in love with Prince Henry, played by Dougray Scott. Not only does she rescue her fellow servants and challenge the prince’s principles, but she also knocks him off a horse by throwing an apple and saves him from bandits by carrying him on her back.
But like all Cinderella stories, Danielle loses a shoe after fleeing from Prince Henry’s masquerade ball, only hers is not made of glass and her departure comes after Rodmilla reveals her true identity to the prince and everyone at the party. A few apologies on the prince’s part later, and Danielle gets her happily ever after with her man, as well as some well-deserved retribution against her stepmother and Marguerite.
The Charlie’s Angels actress reunited with Scott, Dodds and Lynskey — in some of their iconic costumes — to celebrate Ever After’s 25th anniversary on a March 2023 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. Appearing via video call, Scott called the film “ahead of its time” while praising its inspirational message.
