Descrição do livro
In 1997, Lea Salonga recorded a song called "Reflection" for an animated character whose spoken dialogue belonged to a different actress entirely. The song became one of the most beloved pieces of music Disney has ever produced. Almost none of the children who grew up loving it knew her name.
REFLECTION: A Biography of Lea Salonga traces a career built on exactly this tension: one of the most decorated performers in modern musical theater history, the first Asian actress to win a Tony Award for an actual performance, achieved before her twentieth birthday, and simultaneously one of the most quietly anonymous voices in American popular culture, embedded inside two of Disney's most recognizable animated princesses. It follows her from a seven-year-old's stage debut in Manila through the demanding, historic role of Kim in Miss Saigon, into the real production history behind Aladdin and Mulan, where her own natural voice was judged unable to sustain a disguise the story itself was built around, and through a second, parallel legacy inside Les Misérables spanning nearly two decades.
It closes on a moment of purely unambiguous recognition: her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, the first ever awarded to a Filipina, requiring no shared credit at all.
Grounded in the historical record, this is the story of what it costs, and what it eventually gives back, to spend a career being both seen completely and heard by millions who never quite knew who they were hearing.
