BURBANK, Calif. – July 6 2017 – This year marks the
30th anniversary of the Disney Legends award, created to honor those who have
made significant contributions to the Disney legacy. To mark the occasion, Disney twenty-three has created a unique
stand-alone issue featuring all 267 current honorees, as well as the 10 new Legends,
who will be inducted next week at D23 Expo 2017. Since 1987, the award has been
given to individuals who have worked with and for Disney in front of the camera
and behind the scenes, from the shining stars of the silver and small screen to
the creative minds behind its films, attractions, music, and entertainment.
For the issue, exclusively for Gold Members of D23: The Official Disney Fan Club, Disney twenty-three Photo Editor Ty
Popko photographed 40 Legends in Disney settings: from Walt Disney’s Office
Suite and the Walt Disney Archives to Walt Disney World Resort and the Good Morning America studios. Featured
Legends include Tim Allen, Hayley Mills, Paige O’Hara, Regis Philbin, Anika
Noni Rose, Lea Salonga, Richard Sherman, and Dick Van Dyke. Kurt Russell, also photographed
for this issue, gives a first-person account of his time working for Walt
himself and the many Disney adventures he has had over the years.
Plus, Disney animator Eric Goldberg crafted a piece
of artwork exclusively for this issue featuring more than 30 Disney Legends,
including Julie Andrews, Steve Martin, Angela Lansbury, and Robin Williams, at a
fabulous “Legend-ary” party. As a bonus, D23 Gold Members attending D23 Expo
2017 will be able to receive a complimentary print of the artwork at the event.
Also included in the fall issue of Disney twenty-three:
- A Disney Legends-themed Ask Dave with Disney Legend Dave Smith
- Photographs from Disney Legends Awards ceremonies through the years
- A tribute to Annette Funicello by Richard Sherman
Disney twenty-three, which is
delivered directly to fans’ doorsteps, is offered exclusively to D23 Gold and
Gold Family Members as a benefit of their membership. The new issue will begin
arriving in late July.
