Sabrina Von B., the talented actress whose portrayal of the Evil Queen from Snow White captivated millions online, has officially ended her eight-year run at Disneyland. The 27-year-old performer confirmed her departure, calling the experience an immense honor in a recent conversation with PEOPLE magazine.
The Rise of a Viral Villain
Von B. began playing the iconic villain at the age of 18 and continued until she was 26. While the Evil Queen was a known character, it was Sabrina's unique and humorous interpretation that propelled her to internet fame. Her sharp, playful interactions with park guests, often captured on video and shared on platforms like TikTok, made her a social media sensation.
The viral wave started in 2019 and saw a significant resurgence in 2021. Despite the online attention, Von B. worked diligently to maintain the "Disney magic" and kept her real identity a secret throughout her employment. It was only after leaving the park that she publicly confirmed she was the performer behind the crown, a revelation that garnered millions of views.
More Than Just a Role
In her interview, Von B. expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to reinvent a character that was not particularly popular before her videos circulated widely. She noted reading numerous comments from people who said they would have never loved the Evil Queen but now considered her their favorite character.
She found special meaning in bringing humor to a traditionally intimidating villain, creating lasting memories for families and children who visited the park. Beyond the Evil Queen, she also performed as other famous villains like Maleficent, Agatha Harkness, and Lady Tremaine.
The Demands Behind the Magic
The role was far from easy. Von B. highlighted the physical challenges, especially performing in the intense California heat. The job required meticulous preparation, constant hydration, and significant stamina, aspects many fans never fully appreciated from the outside.
Now, as she closes this chapter, Sabrina Von B. is looking toward the future with a mix of excitement and nervousness. She is preparing for new projects and aims to pursue opportunities in theatre and touring productions, ready to embark on the next phase of her performing career.
