The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Ann Sullivan, a veteran Disney animator who served two tenures at the studio, has passed away at age 91 of complications of the ongoing world health emergency.
After leaving Disney the first time to start a family, Sullivan fought her way back into the animation industry, working at Filmation and Hanna-Barbera before returning to Disney to work on such 80s and 90s classics as "Oliver & Company," "The Little Mermaid," "The Lion King," and even worked into the 2000s on films like "Lilo and Stitch" and "Treasure Planet."

I've seen the news about it. They used a Photo of "Lucia Bose" to announce that she's dead :S

I know. That's why I opted to use an article that did not have a picture of her.Thumper_93 wrote:I've seen the news about it. They used a Photo of "Lucia Bose" to announce that she's dead :S

That's so unfortunate to hear, especially since it was apparently in relation to Corona. If not for this accursed virus, I feel like she could have lived many more years since she must have been very healthy to make it to 91 otherwise. My thoughts and prayers are with her family right now.
