All you ever hear about when it comes to Sleeping Beauty is Mary Costa, Mary Costa, now I relize that Elenor Audley passed away a short time ago (the voice of Maleficent) but whatever happen to Bill Shirley (the voice of Prince Phillip)? Did he pass away also, or is he still alive, and why has he not been mentioned, as having anything to do with this upcoming DVD release as Mary Costa has?

Are either Elenor Audley or Bill featured in any supplements on the DVD? I relize that if they waited until recently to make the material it would be too late for Ms. Audley, but if there was content with her, or Bill on the LD, I figure it might have been brought over to the DVD...

So if either of the above voice actors are utilized for supplements on the DVD I would like to know.... But I would also like any info on whatever happened to the actor to voice Prince Phillip.

it's Eleanor Audley not Audrey

He died in 1989.

There's no interviews with Bill, but (assuming he was the live action reference for the prince - and I think he was) there is some reconstructed footage of him acting for the animators' reference.
