#22 Walt Disney’s FBI Connection
Everyone knows the magical world that is Disney, where dreams come true and fantasy becomes reality. However, few would have expected the man behind the magic, Walt Disney, to have been involved in anything remotely shady. But the truth is, Walt was more than just an animator and entrepreneur. He was also an informant for the Los Angeles branch of the FBI.
From 1940 until his death, Walt reported any un-American activities he encountered in Hollywood circles to the FBI. He was so highly regarded by the agency that he was even given the title of “Full Special Agent in Charge Contact.” This unexpected side of Walt Disney’s life serves as a reminder that even those who seem to embody innocence and joy can have hidden depths.
