Personal check, 8.25 x 3, filled out in another hand and signed by Disney, “Walter E. Disney,” payable to photographer George Hurrell’s daughter Alexandra for $25.00, stamp-dated December 25, 1956. Memo line along left side reads, “Merry Xmas.” In fine condition, with two vertical folds (one through a single letter of signature), and expected stamps and holes. Hurrell married Phyllis Bounds, the niece of Disney’s wife Lillian, in 1943. Later on in the 1950s, the Hurrells started their own television production studio located on the Walt Disney Studios lot, where they produced commercials utilizing Disney’s staff during their slow periods. An excellent association between the famed photographer and entertainment visionary. Pre-certified Phil Sears COA and RR Auction COA.
