But after the show, Rob Lowe told her to 'get out of LA as quickly as you can. Twenty-two at the time, she was proud of her performance and eager about her big break. The real tragedy is that Eileen Bowman, who played Snow White, was just at the start of her acting career. Gregory Peck threatened to return his statue if the stunt was ever repeated. Several actors signed a letter to the Academy Awards, demanding there never be a show like it again. The Walt Disney Company sued for using Snow White without permission. Just how bad was the reaction? Well, some of the fallout included: Carr came up with the number, and his career never recovered.
The production ruined the career of Allan Carr, who is best known for producing the movie Grease. Still, the crowd was not feeling the 11-minute sketch/musical number about Snow White discovering Tinsel Town. Nowadays, every awards show has at least one desperate ploy for ratings.
To be fair, this whole stunt was called the 'worst Oscars ever' in 1989, when the industry was still dominated by old-school Hollywood.
