A Chicken-eating Walt Disney
Looking quite pleased with himself, this picture of Walt Disney was taken at the time he was enjoying the initial success of Mickey Mouse and Snow White. Like many Americans, Walt treated himself to some delicious soul food to celebrate a rousing victory. It is amazing to see even the most successful people in the world sit down to enjoy some simple but heartwarming food like the rest of us.
