She also worked in the company ink ad paint department. Outside of the studio, she was an actress in 1941 as Mary Daily, a dancer, and then a realtor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About Snow White, in an interview conducted by Jim Korkis published in Didier Ghez&#8217;s &#8220;Walt&#8217;s People volume 13&#8221;, she said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Walt called me (&#8230;). I did a Snow White voice for him. I remember doing the line &#8220;a shoe? That will never, never do.'&#8221; So he thought he might use my voice for Snow White. And he knew I could do the actions, the live-action reference. Anyway, I was put in the costume and wig. I couldn&#8217;t do the singing, but I could do everything else like the dancing. . I could carry a tune, of course, but not the type of singing they wanted. It was a three-year exclusive contract which meant I couldn\u2019t do any other acting, any other films. And I would only be paid for the days I actually worked. So my mother said, \u201cNo, thanks.\u201d I was sad because I liked Snow White. I really did. I still wish I could have done it.<\/p><cite>Virginia Davis<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the line she remembers is only partly heard in the final film, her claim is quite believable. Snow White says &#8220;&#8230;and a shoe&#8221;. However, in the script, her full dialogue, presumably recorded, was: &#8220;What peculiar appetites.&#8221; It is possible that Virginia was asked to rerecord the line. The line &#8220;That will never do&#8221; refers to a later scene, when she inspects the dwarfs&#8217; hands. It is unclear wether her recordings or her modeling was eventually used, but she most likely did it.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading8695_d8ce10-38,
