“I’m wondering how much trouble I’m in,” recalled Russell. “[But] Everyone is nice. The crew is great.”
Disney eventually appeared on set and taught the young actor another life lesson on finding balance as a Hollywood actor.
“And here comes Walt Disney,” said Russell. “And I thought, ‘Oh-oh.’ And he came over and he said, ‘Well, young man, I hear you got the game-winning hit. Way to go! Have fun today, guys.’ And it was from that moment on, I knew that guy was cool. He got it.”
Disney died at age 65 in 1966 from an acute circulatory collapse. The New York Times reported a month prior to his death, Disney had surgery to remove a lung tumor that was discovered after he was treated for an old neck injury he suffered during a polo match.
Russell went on to pursue a lasting Hollywood career. This year he completed two films, “The Fate of the Furious” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.”
