Disney's first Black princess in 2009 could have been played by a true queen. But, according to Confessions of a Casting Director author Jen Rudin, Beyoncé refused to audition for the part. After try-outs from Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and Tyra Banks, it went to Beyoncé's Dreamgirls co-star Anika Noni Rose . The actress suggested the New Orleans-based Tiana share some of her attributes, so animators made her left-handed and gave her dimples. Directors Ron Clements and John Musker pitched the concept (inspired by the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, The Frog Prince) to Oprah Winfrey during a Disneyland trip for fun (as you do) and the media icon was so into it, she ended up voicing Tiana's mother, Eudora.
