When he died， Walt Disney left behind a multi-million dollar franchise， which changed everything. There’s no question that Walt Disney’s life changed the world. As the mastermind behind Mic-key Mouse and the entire Disney enterprise， his life’s work has inspired children and adults alike for decades. And when he passed away due to lung cancer in 1966， the world truly lost one of the greats.
However， Disney made an impact in another way， as well. “Legend has it that he wrote one last message before being hospitalized prior to his death，” said Disney historian Jim Korkis. Titled “TV Projects In Production： Ready for Production or Possible for Escalation and Story”， the note listed four names： Ron Miller， 2 Way Down Cellar， Kurt Russell， and CIA-Mobley. Still， the note’s true meaning rema-ined a mystery for decades. What did Disney’s last message to the world intend to convey？
According to former Disney archivist Dave Smith， who found the note， Disney was listing possible future projects for his franchise. And one name stood out： Kurt Russell.
Disney had expressed his awe of the 15-year-old’s talent before， praising him on television and personally ensuring that the boy received a studio contract. In October 1966， just months before his death， Disney even predicted “a great acting future” for Russell. But finally， it was Disney’s last words that launched Russell’s career as an actor. And that’s not the only time Disney’s words proved life-changing—these timeless Walt Disney quotes continue to inspire people around the world.
Russell confirmed this suspicion in a 2013 episode of The View. “I assume that he was talking about some movie that he was thinking about having me in... I don’t know what to make of it other than that，” Russell said.
The young actor went on to star in dozens of Disney films， including The One and Only， Genuine， Original Family Band. So in the end， we have Disney to thank for one of the most memorable
