The beauty rejected the feelings of the famous author.
Fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen are known all over the world and attract children with their dark twisted plot. Therefore, film adaptations of the works of the great writer are so incredibly popular. And young Soviet viewers most of all loved the story of the Snow Queen.
In the musical of Nikolai Alexandrovich, the role of the Ice Maiden went to the talented actress Alisa Freindlich. In the frame, she looked ominous, and even frightened especially impressionable guys. And after watching many adaptations of Andersen, this heroine evokes exactly the same feelings.
However, it turned out that the children were deceived. In fact, the prototype of the Snow Queen was the dear beloved of the Danish author. Opera singer Jenny Lind had soft features and big kind eyes. In the paintings of that time, she was depicted as a tender girl with flowers in her hair. But the beauty rejected the feelings of the famous writer. And just a year after this incident, the man published a fairy tale about an indifferent maiden with a cold heart.
