Tyrus Wong, who lived a long, full life bursting with creativity, passed away today at age 106.
He's remembered for his sublime art direction for "Bambi", but he also did fine art, Christmas cards, and decades of artistic work on live-action films. He also had a tough childhood ... due to Chinese exclusion laws a century ago.
It's important to remember that for all the prejudice we endure today against the "other", it is nothing new.
