DS, signed “Walter E. Disney,” two pages, 8.5 x 13, November 29, 1956. A document entitled “Deed of Gift under the California Gifts of Securities to Minors Act,” and reads, in part: “I, Walter E. Disney, do hereby deliver to Phyllis Hurrell…as custodian for Alexandra Hurrell, a minor…Walt Disney Productions Trustees’ Certificate Number 175 representing my full beneficial interest…in and to 150 shares of Walt Disney Productions Common Stock…Under the provisions of a certain Voting Trust Agreement, said shares are to be held by the Trustees…during the period of 21 years from the 1st day of December, 1945.” Nicely signed at the conclusion on the first page by Disney, and signed on the second page by Lillian Disney, also transferring 150 shares of stock. In fine condition, with punch holes to top edge, a staple to top left, and some trivial wrinkling. The wealthy niece of Disney’s wife, Phyllis Bounds Hurrell was an early female pioneer of television. Her third husband, George Hurrell, was a renowned glamour photographer in the 1930s and 1940s. When his style of photography became less popular in the 1950s, he and Phyllis started their own television production studio, utilizing the Disney staff. Although her husband left the Burbank studio in 1954 to return to New York, Phyllis stayed behind and, at the time she received this document, was still serving as the studio’s commercial co-coordinator. A great Disney signature with a wonderful familial and Hollywood connection.
