Dania Ramirez stars as Cinderella (also known as Jacinda) on "Once Upon a Time." This Cinderella is definitely a step away from the old Cindy of past seasons. Jacinda is the former love interest of Henry Mills (and the mother of his child!).
Dominican-American actress Dania Ramirez is no stranger to quality television acting. The 38 year old began her career with a series of roles on hit TV shows including playing Maya Herrera on "Heroes," Alex on "Entourage" and Blanca on the last season of "The Sopranos." Dania eventually branched out to film and played Alex Guerrero in "She Hate Me" and Callisto in "X-Men: The Last Stand" before returning to TV on Lifetime's "Devious Maids." Dania isn't only an actress but a loving wife and mother too. She wed director John "Bev" Land in 2013 and the couple welcomed twins later that year.
Gabrielle Anwar joined the Season 7 cast as Lady Rapunzel Tremaine, also known as Victoria Belfrey. Lady Tremaine is Cinderella's evil stepmother.
English actress Gabrielle Anwar has made quite a name for herself since she emerged on the Hollywood scene in the 1980s. The 48 year old has starred in a slew of films and TV shows including "Beverly Hills, 90210," "For Love or Money," "The Grave" and "If Looks Could Kill." Gabrielle is best known for her roles as Margaret Tudor on "The Tudors," Fiona Glenanne on "Burn Notice" and for dancing the tango with Al Pacino in "Scent of a Woman." The actress is married to Shareef Malnik and shares a son with ex-boyfriend Craig Sheffer and two children with ex-husband John Verea.
Alison Fernandez stars as Lucy, the daughter of Henry Mills and Jacinda (aka Cinderella), on "Once Upon a Time." Like her father before her, Lucy believes that most of Hyperion Heights' inhabitants are fairy tale characters cursed into living false lives. She runs away from home and tells Henry that she needs him to save their family from the curse.
Alison Fernandez is only 12, but she's already building quite a resume in Hollywood. The young starlet began her career on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" when she was 5. From 2013 to 2015, she was a recurring character, Eva Diaz, on "Orange Is the New Black." Alison then made her film debut in 2014's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" and went on to star in the hit 2017 film "Logan." All of that before reaching ninth grade!
Mekia Cox plays Princess Tiana — who's also known as Sabine in Hyperion Heights — on "Once Upon a Time." In the New Enchanted Forest, Tiana is the leader of the resistance against the curse. In the modern world, Tiana is Jacinda's roommate and friend.
Mekia Cox is an accomplished entertainer who began her career in the world of dance and musical theater. The St. Croix native toured nationally for two years as Carmen in "Fame" right after graduating from high school. Mekia went on to star as Sasha on the second and third seasons of "90210" and is also known for her role as a dancer in the Michael Jackson concert series "This Is It" and the related film "Michael Jackson's This Is It." Mekia was one of only two women selected for the 11-member dance group from a field of over 500!
Adelaide Kane stars as Drizella Tremaine, Cinderella's evil step-sister on the seventh season of "Once Upon a Time." In Hyperion Heights, she is known as Ivy Belfrey, an assistant to her mother at Belfrey Towers.
Australian actress Adelaide Kane began her professional career at the age of 6 and has been actively working ever since. The 27 year old first hit it big on the Australian soap opera "Neighbors" before starring as Cora Hale on the third season of MTV's "Teen Wolf" and as Mary, Queen of Scots, on the CW period drama "Reign." Adelaide has also enjoyed her share of romances and flirtations. She was most recently linked to actor Sean Teale.
Emma Booth stars as Rapunzel's evil guardian, Mother Gothel — one of the central villains on "Once Upon a Time." In Hyperion Heights, Mother Gothel — also known as Eloise Gardener — ends up as Victoria Belfrey's prisoner.
Like co-star Adelaide Kane, Emma Booth is also a native Australian. The 35-year-old actress has had a few small roles here and there but is primarily known for her role in the 2007 film "Introducing the Dwights." In addition to acting on the big and small screens, Emma is also a wife. She revealed on Instagram in 2015 that she had secretly married musician Dominick Joseph Lunar in Las Vegas in 2013.
