Jack Olsen

In 1964, he became director of the Merchandising Division, and held that position until 1970 when, as vice president of merchandising, he contributed his many talents to the successful opening and operation of Walt Disney World.

Estelle Getty

“I know this lady I’m playing. She’s partly me and partly my imagination, but she’s an original and that’s what I’ve been playing all my life—original characters.” —Estelle Getty, on her role as Sophia Petrillo in The Golden Girls

Hideo Amemiya

Hideo was known as a man of wit, energy, and vision whose enthusiasm for Disney projects never flagged. His zeal was contagious; he never had trouble getting people on board his projects.

Hideo “Indian” Aramaki

Considering the awards and honors that Indian gathered over the years, it’s hard to believe this culinary expert had no formal training.

Cicely Rigdon

While in Guest Relations, she was responsible for Walt’s apartment above the Main Street Fire Station, and was therefore known as the “Keeper of the Keys.”

Chuck Abbott

Chuck entered the Disneyland on-ramp on August 10, 1955, as a ride operator on Autopia. “In the days when there was no track, and cast members had to be quick on their feet to avoid a collision with oncoming guests,” he once recalled.

Robin Williams

Beginning with his Academy Award^®-nominated performance as Adrian Cronauer in Touchstone Pictures’ Good Morning, Vietnam, Robin starred in an impressive string of Disney films.

Rue McClanahan

The Golden Girls hilariously redefined viewer notions of how respectable older women ought to behave. Rue’s hilarious turn as an unrepentantly oversexed senior citizen endlessly recalling, with her spot-on Southern drawl, escapades from days gone by threatened to steal the show every week.

Charles Boyer

During his 39 years with Disneyland, Charles produced nearly 50 collectible lithographs, as well as a diverse range of artwork for magazine covers, brochures, and flyers—even Company-commissioned oil portraits for retiring employees.

Harry Archinal

“Harry Archinal is one of the great pioneers in the world of international film distribution, as well as a central figure in establishing Disney’s great success in overseas markets.” —Dick Cook
