In Unforgiven, according to a prop parking violation auctioned off on eBay, Cruella's address is 10101 Bella Vista Avenue, Long Island, NY. The number 10101 is an obvious reference to the novel The Hundred and One Dalmatians and Disney's One Hundred and One Dalmatians. David picks up some of the parking tickets when he searches Cruella's car, but they're mostly illegible. The same prop also notes her date of birth as November 13, 1956. If correct, she would have been twenty-six when she and Ursula were transported to the Land Without Magic in Best Laid Plans. 1956 is the year Dodie Smith published The Hundred and One Dalmatians. November 13 is the month and date 102 Dalmatians premiered in New York City in 2000.
