Out performers Sir Elton John and Tommy Kirk honored as Disney Legends
Since 1987, Disney has been honoring individuals who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy in the fields of music, journalism, art, performance, engineering and business. This year, Disney President and CEO Robert A. Iger handed out Disney Legends Awards to 12 people, including two out performers: legendary singer/songwriter Sir Elton John (The Lion King) and actor Tommy Kirk (Old Yeller, The Absent-Minded Professor). A special award was given posthumously to ABC News anchor Peter Jennings for his years of service.
"This annual ceremony, now in its 19th year, gives all of us at Disney a moment to remember the importance of our past achievements and to recognize those who embody this company's constant focus on delivering unparalleled creativity, quality and innovation to our audiences around the world," said Iger.
The Disney Legends Award was established to honor the men and women who have made significant contributions to the Disney legacy. The first recipient of this prestigious distinction was actor Fred MacMurray (The Shaggy Dog), and since that time 203 Disney Legends have been named, including this year's recipients. Past Disney Legends include Julie Andrews, Steve Martin and Dick Van Dyke.
