Week 191: Walt Disney (Winner: Annette Heileson) Tidbits: Walter Elias Walt Disney, December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966, was an American business magnate, animator, cartoonist, producer, director, screenwriter, philanthropist and voice actor. During his lifetime he received four honorary Academy Awards and won 22 Academy Awards from a total of 59 nominations, including a record four in one year, giving him more awards and nominations than any other individual in history. Following a failed attempt as a newspaper artist, drawing political caricatures and comic strips, Disney became interested in animation and secured a deal with theater owner Frank L. Newman, arguably the most popular showman in the Kansas City area at the time, to screen his cartoons at a local theater, which they titled Laugh-O-Grams. The Walt Disney Company had an annual revenue of approximately $45 billion in the 2013 financial year.
