End of an era.

She stood fast against the lying propaganda against Walt Disney.

I assume she had absolutely no control over the company and it’s constant promotion of drug addled sluts to young children?

I assume her involvement with The Walt Disney Company ended when her husband was ousted as CEO in 1984.

As to the “constant promotion of drug addled sluts to young children” - I don’t know what you’re talking about.

I belive she was still involved in the Disney Family Museum in the Presidio By Crissy Field.

It's a wonderful museum, which I saw for the first time over the summer.

I hope that the museum survives her passing.

Walt takes a photo of his daughters Sharon & Diane in the backyard of the Disney family home in Holmby Hills.

The barn in the background was Walt's workshop, the "birthplace of Imagineering" and repair shop for the miniature Carolwood Pacific Railroad which Walt and friends built in his yard. It now serves as a museum at the Los Angeles Live Steamers exhibit in Griffith Park.

Wasn’t it Sharon that was adopted?

The leftist creep, Neal Gabler, wrote the (or at least one of them) book that outraged her. He used to be on Fox News Watch.

No. Diane was not adopted. The younger sister Sharon was adopted and passed away many years ago.

Yes. And Gabler’s bio was not that bad compared to what could be.

She also spoke up for Amid Amidi and his biography Ward Kimball, which the current regime squashed.

sorry- thought both were adopted...I do know Diane was married to the former USC football player who was a terrible CEO...

actually that book was not a hit piece on Walt Disney at all...in fact he put Walt’s love of conservatism and the GOP in good light and also put to bed all those hideous rumors of Walt Disney being an anti-semite...

At the same time what She objected to was the presentation of her family.

She wrote this:

“a monstrous piece of libelous junk. My parents were not the people he creates in this book, and I cannot understand why all of you who aided and abetted Gabler in writing this book, and who praise it and promote it, can do so without suffering serious qualms.”
