Q: It was great meeting you at the D23 event at the Disney Archives. Your knowledge of Disney history is amazing! Do you have any insights on Mary Blair? My daughter’s Masters thesis is about this talented lady, and we would like to know what resources are available. Do you have any inside information that may highlight her work for Disney?

A: If your daughter has not seen the 2003 book The Art and Flair of Mary Blair, by John Canemaker, she should certainly obtain it because it is a fairly comprehensive look at Mary’s life and career.
