Walt Disney, magician

Postby Bill Mullins » February 26th, 2021, 1:51 pm

I just ran across this quote from Walt Disney.

During school days I was always interested in the stage. I was a great admirer of Charles Chaplin. As a kid, I made a number of appearances in neighborhood theaters on amateur nights, impersonating him. Character disguises, sleight of hand tricks, and school dramatics were my chief interests at that time.

Why do I feel like this has something to do with Richard Kaufman’s genesis story?
