I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.

At the beginning of 1955 only about 60 percent of American homes had TVs.

I'm saddened to see that some have been misled into believing that Mr. Disney was something other than a kind, caring man.

As I grew older, I came to feel more responsible for any hardship or trouble my career caused my family.

Mickey Mouse... is always there-he's part of my life. That really is something not everyone can call their claim to fame.

Watching television in those days was not the same experience as it is today. After years of listening to radio, we found the black-and-white images mesmerizing.

The original Mickey Mouse Club, established in the '30s, was designed to attract children to movie theaters.
