1923:
Walt Disney (now living in California) receives a telegram from Margaret
Winkler (a New York cartoon distributor) offering to pay $1500 each for the first six of
his Alice Comedies. Also known as M. J. Winkler, she is the first woman to produce and distribute animated
films. Walt rushes over to the Veterans Hospital, where his brother Roy is recovering from tuberculosis, to tell him
the good news. (Miraculously Roy will leave the hospital the next day - a cured man!)
