Cruella De Vil is the main antagonist of
Disney's
1961 animated feature film
One Hundred and One Dalmatians. She is a wealthy, fashion-obsessed heiress who wishes to use the skins of 99 Dalmatian puppies for a fur coat.
She first appeared in the novel
The Hundred and One Dalmatians(1956) by
Dodie Smith. Perhaps the most famous incarnation of the character was developed for Disney's
1961 animated adaptation
One Hundred and One Dalmatians by story man
Bill Peet, animator
Marc Davis and was voiced by actress
Betty Lou Gerson. Disney's villainess proved successful and has led to appearances in other media.
Cruella is among the most critically-acclaimed and popular Disney characters of all time, and is held in a similar regard among cinematic villains, once being voted the 39th greatest movie villain of all time, the 82nd most popular film character of all time and the 31st greatest movie female of all time.
