Walt was a heavy smoker. Died of cancer 12/15/66, he was 65. I just watched a
great documentary on him last night on CNBC. His brother Roy was going to
retire at that time too. But the family convinced him to oversee the
construction of Walt Disney World which opened in October 1971. He did retire
after the opening, but died two months later from a seizer on December 20,
1971.

maybe if they focused on production quality rather than production cost -
maybe if the focus was on making good movies rather than loud flashy ones
maybe if Walt had lived just a few mor years :-(
