1990:
Retta Scott, the first woman to receive screen credit as an animator at Walt Disney Studios, passes away in Foster City, California. First hired in 1938 and assigned to the Story Department, her stunning sketches caught the eye of Walt Disney who moved her to the Animation Department. Scott's Bambi credits include the vicious hunting dogs in the sequence where the dogs pursue Faline and fight with Bambi. She also contributed to Fantasia, Dumbo, and The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad and appeared on-screen in the Disney live-action studio tour film The Reluctant Dragon. She was laid-off from Disney during a periodic studio downsizing in late 1941, (partially as a result of the infamous Disney animators' strike in the summer of 1941) but was rehired by the Disney Studio in 1942 to once again work in the Story Department. Scott left Disney in 1946 and moved to the East Coast, where she continued to freelance, illustrating Disney publications such as the Big Golden Book edition of Disney's Cinderella. She will be named a Disney Legend in 2000.

2005:
Disney Legend Fred Joerger, a master model maker who helped create Disneyland's look by molding three-dimensional models of the Sleeping Beauty Castle, the Haunted Mansion, and other attractions, passes away at age 91. Walt Disney handpicked Joerger back in 1953 to become one of the first three members of WED Enterprises (today known as Walt Disney Imagineering) along with Harriett Burns and Wathel Rogers. Joerger's unusual knack for creating gorgeous rockwork out of plaster led to his reputation as Imagineering's "resident rock expert." Among his rocky mountain highlights; the huge stones featured on the Jungle Cruise and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Joerger also built miniature sets and props for Disney motion pictures, including Mary Poppins, Darby O'Gill and the Little People, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The "Here Lies Good Old Fred - A Great Big Rock Fell On His Head" Haunted Mansion tombstone is a tribute to Joerger!
