Conversation with Margaret Kerry

In conjunction with our exhibition of Margaret Kerry's ballet slippers as part of our celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Walt Disney Company, here's a clip from our recent conversation with Kerry about her performance as the live-action reference model for Tinker Bell in "Peter Pan" (1953), what it was like to work with Disney Legend Marc Davis, and the story behind her ballet slippers on display.

Tinkerbell is my favourite Disney character! Margaret Kelly portrayed her perfectly! Thanks for this interview! There was a live stream with her a few years ago, organised by the Disneyana Fanclub, on my birthday, but then I received so many calls from friends and family that I missed it. So it's great to see an interview with her here.

Disney just canceled Tinkerbell from appearing at all of their parks claiming Tinkerbell was jealous, petty, backbiting, and body conscious and she no longer met Disney's new standards.
