“I never thought I would get to play a Disney iconic character and never saw myself playing a princess,” admits Lana Parrilla about her role on ABC’s “Once Upon a Time.” “Playing the Evil Queen has been a dream gig!”
“Once Upon a Time” tells the story of two parallel worlds — a mythical fairytale land and modern day small-town America. The residents of Storybrooke, Maine may or may not know of their alter-ago identities in the Enchanted Forest. They are trapped by the Evil Queen’s curse which sprang from her all-consuming hatred of Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin).
Parrilla will be on the Emmy ballot this year in the Best Drama Supporting Actress race, the only actress from the show to be submitted in that category.
