Queen Grimhilde (Queen Ingrid' in Mirror, Mirror (A Twisted Tale)), more commonly known across popular media as The Evil Queen or simply The Queen, is the main antagonist of Disney's 1st full-length animated feature film Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, which is based on the 1812 German fairytale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm.
Her most famous incarnation is in the Disney film, but the origin of the story goes as far back as folklore itself. Being a popular fairytale, Disney's film had a very tremendous impact on how she is seen as a villain and introduced the concept of her Magic Mirror and her ultimate transformation from a young and beautiful woman to an ugly old hag and she is also the Huntsman's former mistress. She is Snow White's stepmother as well as her arch-nemesis.
She was voiced by the late Lucille La Verne (in her last film role) in the film, the late Eleanor Audley in the 1949 audiobook, the late June Foray in Disney on Parade, Louise Chamis in Disney Villains' Revenge, and Susanne Blakeslee in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep.
