Five years and two days ago, I put up an interview with THIS fine man. ...
Cartoon veteran Don Lusk (animator, story man, and director .. from Disney on Hyperion to Hanna-Barbera on Cahuenga) turns turns ten decades old today.
To celebrate, we present you with the Don Lusk 100th birthday interview, which covers his career from Disney in 1933, to Hanna-Barbera in 1993. (Sixty years of work seems to be sufficient, wouldn't you say?) ...
Don is now 105 years old, and the last of Disney's "Golden Age" animators.
He started at Disney-Hyperion in 1933, departed in 1960 (and let's be upfront about this: Don was fired. He went out on strike in 1941 and Walt never forgave him.)
Don went on to a long career at Hanna-Barbera. He retired at age eighty in 1993, and has been busy for the twenty-five years that have elapsed since then. Happy 105th, Don. May your next 105 years be eqully memorable.
You will find Parts II and III of this interview here and here.
