Celine Dion
Top-selling Canadian chanteuse Celine Dion may have a handful of appearances in music documentaries to her credit, including George Martin's Beatles cover project In My Life (1998), but she is better known cinematically as the voice of several enormously popular movie ballads. She sang the Oscar-winning theme of Disney's animated hit Beauty and the Beast (1991) with Peabo Bryson and her rendition of "Because You Loved Me" for Up Close & Personal (1996) became a bestseller. Dion's career as movie vocalist hit a record-breaking apex when composer James Horner enlisted her to sing the kind of love ballad director James Cameron had expressly nixed for his romance disaster epic Titanic (1997). Cameron relented when he heard the result and Dion's performance of eventual Best Song Oscar-winner "My Heart Will Go On" became as king-size a hit as Cameron's blockbuster film in 1998 (and eclipsed her vocalizing for the animated Quest for Camelot (1998)). Dion took a career hiatus in 1999 to start a family with her husband/manager. ~ Lucia Bozzola, All Movie Guide
