Michelle Nicastro, who spoke and sang for Odette, just passed away. I almost didn't believe it at first, but there it is. (source)

Thanks for sharing this sad news.

This movie was such a huge part of my childhood, and I think a large part of that came from the stellar voice acting. Michelle and the rest of the cast brought such amazing life to their characters. Even though I love Liz Callaway's singing for Odette, Michelle Nicastro has a beautiful voice as well, and I'm so pleased we got to hear it in the sequels.

It was a huge part of my childhood, too, and I still love it and listen to the music today. It's sad and unsettling to lose your childhood idols when they weren't that old to begin with.

Aw! I think I'd heard she had cancer, but I didn't know anything else. I hate cancer. A lot.

I also didn't know she was 50. Only 50...

[clearblacklines]

Yeah, that's why I had trouble believing it at first. She's... not that old.

I didn't know she was as "old" as she was though.

I have a hard time discussing this because on one hand, I'm like "She was THAT old?" Yet it's being discussed in the context of her death. 50 is not very long to live at all.

This makes me sad.

Aw, this is so sad to hear.

Yeah... I'm still sure I can explain my feelings right now, because it's just so out of the blue.

Oh no! :( RIP. Totally unexpected. No more hearing that beautiful voice :(

Yeah... I kinda want to watch the Swan Princess movies again, but I think it'll break my heart.
