Ginny Tyler

Ginny’s vocal work gradually moved from just narration to character voices for Disney; she played two amorous female squirrels in The Sword in the Stone and sang for several of the barnyard animals in the “Jolly Holiday” sequence of Mary Poppins.

Tim Considine

Of a childhood in the public eye, Tim once said, “It was generally a pretty good experience for me. What I missed, I’m sure I missed, but I’m not too unhappy about what I did. I’ve had the opportunity to screw up all kinds of things, and not just in that one career!”

David Stollery

“I liked David right away,” co-star Tim Considine remembered, “because, although very conscientious about his work, he wasn’t loud or at all show-offy.”

Tommy Kirk

Tommy fondly remembers Walt Disney, and recalls once bumping into him at a Beverly Hills hotel. “He was with Hedda Hopper, the legendary columnist. He put his arm around me, and he said, ‘This is my good-luck piece here,’ to Hedda Hopper. I never forgot that. That’s the nicest compliment he ever gave me.”

Paul Frees

It was literally impossible during the 1960s and most of the 1970s to turn on the TV on any given night and not hear the ineluctable Mr. Frees.

Lucille Martin

Walt took special care of his office staff, and Lucille remembered many kindnesses: “I had never flown on a plane, and one day when Walt was going to San Diego with a press group, he closed the office so I could have my first plane ride.”

Art Babbitt

As early as the 1942 publication of the first scholarly study of animation, The Art of Walt Disney by Dr. Robert Feild, Art Babbitt had gained a reputation as “The Greatest Animator Ever.”

Dick Huemer

“He was with animation through all its growing pains. Whatever animation became, he helped to shape it, drawing by drawing, idea by idea.” —Animation great Grim Natwick

Floyd Norman

“I’m sort of a Disney… kind of a troublemaker. A story artist, animator—tried to be an animator. But mainly writer, artist, and a guy who’s trying to learn his craft. Been doing it now for about 40 years and, just beginning to get the hang of it.” —Floyd Norman

Marge Champion

Marge was the live-action reference model for the heroine of Disney’s feature-length cartoon Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, performing dances, scenes, and special movements so the animators could caricature her actions and make their princess as human as possible.
