Hehehehe wow I think I would have laughed my ass off if I applied to Disney in the 40's and got this letter, then I would have beaten up some men!

Charles Wilson said...: Um... Wow!! Can you imagine the bad press and lawsuits Disney would get for sending someone a letter like that in today's day and age? 8o

That letter is really valuable Jessica. I hope you hang onto it for when you decide to write a 'women in animation' book!; 7:41 AM

Charles Wilson said...: Hrm. So that joke about Disney making a film called "Nazi supermen are our friends" has some credibility? *wink*

"EGADS!! WHAT ELSE IS HIDDEN IN THE DISNEY VAULT?!"; 9:27 AM
