Cruella de Vil Was Around 45 Years Old In 1996's 101 Dalmatians. In the 1996 live-action remake, Cruella de Vil is around 50 years old according to a conversation between Emma Stone and Jenny Beavan, the film's costume designer.
At the 2022 Oscars, makeup artist Nadia Stacey revealed that the script for the sequel was in the works. Even in 2023, the project is still in its pre-production stage. Considering the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, Cruella probably won't begin filming before 2024.
Mr. de Vil “didn't seem to be anything but a furrier,” Smith writes cattily, and Cruella married him for access to furs. Furs are essential to her lifestyle because she is always cold, and Smith strongly implies that nothing short of hellfire will ever be quite hot enough for her.
Cruella begins with Estella as a child with black and white hair, something that she was born with due to a disease called poliosis. The condition is caused by a decrease or absence of melanin in the hair on the body, typically resulting in a white streak or splotches in someone's hair.
The first thing Disney did to make Cruella a redeemable character was to portray her as having dissociative identity disorder (sometimes called multiple personality disorder).
Film Theory: Was Cruella ACTUALLY Wrong? (101 Dalmatians)
Is Cruella based on a true story?
Disney based its version of Cruella on the personality and mannerisms of Tallulah Bankhead, and her long, lanky physical design came from Mary Wickes, who served as her live-action model.
In 101 Dalmatians, Cruella wanted to purchase Perdita and Pongo's Dalmatian puppies because she was a selfish heiress who viewed the puppies as a fashionable commodity to be exploited rather than as innocent living beings.
In the 1961 animated original film, the fashion-obsessed heiress was usually seen clutching a cigarette and holder as sickly green smoke wafted behind her. When asked why the wardrobe statement piece was intentionally left out, Stone attributed it to evolving opinions about smoking within the past 60 years.
A live-action prequel feature film following a young Cruella de Vil. "Cruella," which is set in 1970s London amidst the punk rock revolution, follows a young grifter named Estella, a clever and creative girl determined to make a name for herself with her designs.
Both Roger and Anita receive puppies from Cruella, Dalmatians named Pongo and Perdit, respectively. This perfectly aligns with the arc in both versions of 101 Dalmatians, wherein Roger and Anita fall in love, and their dogs give birth to an unnaturally large litter of 15 puppies.

In Smith's novel, Cruella de Vil is married to a furrier, and she tells Mrs. Dearly that she kept her last name—unusual enough in those times that it required explanation—because she was the only surviving member of her family.
It is there the movie arbitrarily suggests Cruella de Vil's eventual obsession with Dalmatians is because that breed of dog was used as a literal murder weapon in the death of her mother.
For the real dogs, there were about six trainers on the set of Cruella. According to Gillespie, dalmatians were especially hard to work with because their attention span was limited and they became rather rambunctious and fidgety when in a scene with other dogs.
She is an eccentric, fashion-obsessed heiress who wishes to use the skins of 99 Dalmatian puppies to create a spotted fur coat. Regarded as a "witch" and "devil woman", Cruella's infatuation with furs drives her to murderous insanity.

Cruella's Story Becomes a Mission of Revenge Rather than Greed. With an evil desire to be clothed in the fur of baby dogs as her one character trait, the original Cruella was merely an entertaining, creepy villain. Stone's Cruella doesn't have any dark instinct to kill Dalmatians and wear them.
In an interview with The Wrap, he said, “We had all the dogs on set all the time, and I would always try to shoot real dogs first, and sometimes it would work and we'd be done, but more often than not, within every scene, half of it is real dogs and half of it is cg.
Their parents, Pongo and Perdita, set out to save their puppies from Cruella, in the process rescuing eighty-four additional ones, bringing the total of Dalmatians to one hundred and one.

Stone said she didn't want to promote smoking, but added that she was “also not trying to promote skinning puppies”. Disney is believed to have placed a ban on smoking onscreen in its films around 2007, with the policy now applying to Lucasfilm, Marvel and Pixar as well.
