Walt Disney's Nephew Dies

  • December 16, 2009
Roy E. Disney, the nephew of Walt Disney, passed away Wednesday. He was 79. He was a proponent of animation projects at Disney. He helped lead a movement to oust Michael Eisner as CEO mid-decade; it was unsuccessful, although Eisner did eventually resign. From 1984-2003, he was vice chairman of the Disney board. -- David Goetzl

    By coincidence, Walt died 1 day earlier on Dec. 15 (in 1966).
