Fairy Godmother Vs Stepmother : Who Is The Fairy Godmother In Cinderella?

Rosalind russell in one of her most memorable roles is the schoolteacher miss rosemary sidney, an middle-aged spinster who is at first, secretly, and by the end of the film, openly pining for the hand of a boyfriend from her youth, howard bevans (arthur o'connell-in an oscar-nominated role). susan strasberg is millie owens, madge's younger sister with a brain to match the smartest guy in the entire country but wishes she could be as pretty as madge as well as being smart. verna felton (in a typical, yet lovable role echoing her voice talents as the fairy godmother in disney's "cinderella" and later as flora, one of the three good fairies in disney's "sleeping beauty") is the owens' next door neighbor helen potts, a kind, adopted grandmother to madge and millie who has known them for years.
