“Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf”, which came from the 1933 Disney “Silly Symphony” Three Little Pigs, inspired the title of the 1962 Edward Albee Tony-winning play titled Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, which was adapted into the 1966 film, which starred Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Taylor won her second Academy Award for her role as Martha in the film. The Tonys won by the play included Best Play.
