Ruthie Tompson passed away last week at the age of 111!! Through her looong career she was a part of many historic Disney moments. From WNYC:
Ruthie Tompson liked to tell people that she and Mickey Mouse “grew up together.”
And that wasn’t an exaggeration: The legendary animator spent nearly 40 years with the Walt Disney Company, working on virtually every film from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to The Rescuers until her retirement in 1975. She even earned the title “Disney Legend” at the turn of the millennium, as the employee with the longest history with Walt and Roy O. Disney.
