A
celebrity's last words become a major part of their legend after they
pass on, and sometimes even overshadows the celebrity's career.
But
there's one guy who wasn't overshadowed by his last words, partly
because people can't decide what his last words actually were. That guy
is Walt Disney, and his last words have been the subject of many
arguments over the years.
When Kurt Russell went on Jimmy Kimmel Live
back in 2007 and declared his name was the last thing Walt Disney ever
said he got some Disney historians riled up, including one who went to
great lengths to disprove the myth.
Leading
Disney historian Jim Korkis did an exhaustive amount of research to
uncover what Walt actually “said” before he died, words written on paper
since Walt was dying of lung cancer and couldn't speak, and the list
surprisingly includes the words “Kirt (sp) Russell”.
