Elora Danan is a fictional character from the 1988 fantasy film Willow,[1][2] played by infant twins Kate and Ruth Greenfield. Although credited for the role, they grew too large for the props that held them on Warwick Davis’ back, so Rebecca Bearman, niece of second assistant director Gerry Toomey, was used throughout most of the film. Kristen Lang played her for scenes shot in Marin County. Babies Isla Brentwood, Laura Hopkirk, and Gina Nelson played her for the parts filmed in New Zealand.[3] In the more dangerous scenes, however, "a thirteen-pound animatronics baby with a remote-controlled moveable head and mouth" was used instead.[4] She is a Daikini, the average-sized race of people in the film (as opposed to the dwarf-sized Nelwyns).

Character plot
Fearful of a prophecy that a girl would be born who would bring about her downfall, the evil Queen Bavmorda of Nockmaar imprisoned all pregnant women in her realm. Elora was born in prison and identified as the prophesied one by a birthmark on her arm. Bavmorda wanted to kill her at birth, but her mother convinced a midwife to smuggle her out. Both her mother and the midwife died to keep her safe.
After her midwife's death, Elora was found by a young Nelwyn farmer named Willow Ufgood, who initially wanted nothing to do with her but later embraced his role as her protector and attempts to take her to Tir Asleen. Bavmorda's efforts to destroy Elora, preventing the prophecy, led to the former's downfall. Afterwards, Willow leaves Elora in the caring arms of Bavmorda's daughter Sorsha, the new queen, and Madmartigan.

The world of Willow conforms to the standard medieval feudalism of fantasy romance, although there is a satisfyingly fairy-tale ring in the evil Queen Bavmorda and the good sorceress Raziel, together with the baby Princess Elora Danan.

I was greeted by Laura Hopkirk who is the manager of the facility. I made a booking for a one hour flight with a qualified pilot. During our conversation, I mentioned how much Queenstown had changed since I was here twenty years ago while shooting 'Willow'. Well, she almost fell over! She told me that she was baby 'Elora Danan' for the New Zealand part of the shoot.
