Q: Was wondering: Is there anyone still left at The Walt Disney Company who Walt Disney hired, or anyone who remembers working with Walt Disney who’s still working for The Walt Disney Company?
Larry, Tampa, Florida
A: Sadly with the passage of the years (45-plus), there are only two people left at the Disney Studios who were hired during Walt Disney’s lifetime: animation director Burny Mattinson and publicist Arlene Ludwig (as of July 2012). There are still several people at Disneyland who were hired pre-1966.
