2:26.0

In my continuing series highlighting Disney legends, I've been able to explore and in some cases interview personally those people whose contributions to the company, animation and the theme parks continues to delight and entertain guests of all ages.

2:47.0

From Mary Blair on show 415 to my interview with Tony Baxter on shows 289 and 372 and one of my personal favorites still remains having the privilege of visiting the home of Alice Davis back in 2010 and spending some time chatting with her about her work and that was back on show 193.

3:10.0

And while I was there we also spent a lot of time discussing her personal and professional relationship with her husband Mark Davis and I will tell you that one of the most amazing things that's happened to me as a result of doing the show and sharing my passion for Disney was as I was walking out the door she says hey you want to come down and see Mark studio and my brains fell out of my head and I walked down the stairs and I saw his studio and his desk and I sat in the chair that she said to me.

Well the Lou thank you so yeah don't set the bar too high there but I appreciate that and yes I did have the wonderful opportunity to meet and talk with several times both Mark and Alice.

4:32.0

And it's hard to realize that Mark passed away in January of 2000 so that's 15 years ago or you know and my gosh so there's a whole generation of people who may not know him and Alice as you know from your experience with her.

4:52.0

At the studio they used to call her a real pistol because she is just a force of nature a real fireball and loved Mark dearly and the very first time I met them I did not realize how talented Alice was because she would always send the focus to Mark and make sure that Mark was comfortable and that Mark was not there.
