Norma Zimmer (1923–2011) was an American singer best known as the “Champagne Lady” on The Lawrence Welk Show, where she performed for over 20 years. Born in Larson, Idaho, she began her career singing in choirs and radio before gaining recognition as a studio singer in Los Angeles. Her clear soprano voice made her a favorite in vocal groups such as the Norman Luboff Choir and the Ken Darby Singers, and she lent her talents to numerous film soundtracks throughout the 1940s and 1950s.
Zimmer had several connections to the legacy of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In 1961, she provided the voice of Snow White in the film Snow White and the Three Stooges. Later, she voiced Snow White again in a 1963 Disneyland Records album arranged by Tutti Camarata, reimagining the film’s songs for a new generation. Additionally, Zimmer voiced the White Rose in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951), showcasing her continued contribution to the Disney soundscape. Though never officially credited as Disney’s Snow White, her lyrical, bell-like voice captured the character’s spirit and continued the musical tradition surrounding the beloved princess in several projects.
