From the October 2007 Peg-Board

Below: Carla Fallberg presents the 2005 Golden Award to her mother, Becky Fallberg.

BECKY FALLBERG, longtime Disney employee and ink-and-paint supervisor, Disney Legend and mother of TAG Executive Board member Carla Fallberg, has passed away at the age of eighty-four.

A lover of Disney cartoons, which she watched almost every Saturday afternoon at a local movie theater, Fallberg joined the studio in 1942 after graduating from John Marshall High School and studying art for one year at Los Angeles City College.

Having worked on every Disney animated feature since the 1943 Saludos Amigos, the seasoned and knowledgeable artist was promoted to manager of the Ink and Paint department in 1975.

She remained head of the department until 1986 when she retired after more than forty-five years at Disney. She received the Animation Guild's Golden Award in 2005.

Our condolences to Carla and her family.
