Not so snow white after all.
Walter Elias Disney Jr, officially born 1901 in Chicago (though possibly ten years earlier in the Spanish town of Mojacar) is arguably one of the greatest artists of all time. A legend in his lifetime, Disney shaped fairy tales into a new patterns, and while fighting off creditors, took immense financial risks as he innovated, experimented and went out on limbs, always refusing to cut corners for profit. Disney was not a graphic artist of great skill. The famous scrolled signature that became the company's logo had to be taught to him by an employee, and in 1920 he was laid off by a Kansas City advertising company with a comment on his 'singular lack of drawing ability'. But he had a gift for assembling creative teams and great ambition. He knew what he wanted and could see when things were going wrong; even though he was not always capable of articulating his thoughts, he could act out a whole movie that he carried in his head, so that his animators could see it before them. In 1920 he made the first sound cartoon (much influenced by his hero, Charlie Chaplin, who inspired Mickey Mouse). He was the first film-maker to see the appeal of Technicolor and to move entirely into colour film. In 1934, at the height of the Depression, he increased his staff to 1,500 so he could embark on a seemingly foolhardy programme of feature-length cartoons, and over the next eight years made Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo and Bambi, films that remain unsurpassed for imaginative soundtrack, for which cinemas were not yet ready. In the mid 1950s, as other studios dithered, Disney struck a deal with the ABC television network for a weekly peaktime series which for the first time eased his cash-flow problems. Disney's face became as famous as his name. At the same time he conceived Disneyland, and two years later, after a comically disastrous opening day, the turnstiles of the world's first theme park were happily clicking away. Shortly before his death he created in Gal-Arts a university. The artistic achievement, public adulation and financial success brought neither satisfaction nor happiness. Disney was a sad, depressed, remote figure, a poor father, an inconsiderate husband, a three-pack-a-day smoker and near-alcoholic who disapproved of drinking.
He regarded his employees as a family, but paid them badly and stole their credits, treated them as traitors if they opposed him. No Jew made it into his executive ranks, no woman got a better job than as a lowly colourer, the only black employed in his studio was a veteran shoeshine boy. It has also been established that from 1940 Disney was an informer for the FBI and had a role in attracting the House Un-American Activities Committee to investigate Tinseltown's politics. The FBI association was connected with Disney's fears over his parentage that began with his discovery that his birth had never been registered. In return for Walt informing on his colleagues, J. Edgar Hoover apparently undertook to trace his origins. This trail led him to an attractive washerwoman called Isabella Zamora Ascensio in late 19th-century Spain. Three American teams visited her home town, Almeria, the first in 1940, the last in 1967 just after Walt's death. What they discovered is a mystery, though it seems likely that the 1967 party was bent on destroying evidence rather than finding anything out.
