Moroni Olsen voiced the Evil Queen’s mirror in the 1937 Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Clarence the angel’s boss in 1946 film It’s a Wonderful Life.
But first, he attended Weber Stake Academy. Olsen served as senior class secretary/treasurer and graduated from the high-school-equivalent three-year business program in 1907.
He later returned to Weber to put on plays with his theater company. He worked as a teacher, playwright and Broadway actor, in addition to appearing on film alongside Cary Grant, Lucille Ball and Joan Crawford.
