It does crack me up that Helena Bonham Carter said that when she was in her fairy godmother attire, she had about 400 LED lights in her dress and 50 AAs “up my bum” and had to be “switched on” for each take.
“Helena Bonham Carter plays a deliciously ditzy and well-meaning fairy godmother…Helena wanted a touch of the yummy mummy and talked about Mae West and Marilyn Monroe. She was also very keen to have wings.” - Kenneth Branagh, Director of Cinderella
