Walt Disney was an informant
‘From 1940 until his death in 1966, Walt Disney served as a secret informer for the Los Angeles office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, according to documents that have come to light under the Freedom of Information Act,’ the New York Times reported in 1993. The subject matter was ‘un-American activities,’ and Disney reportedly gave up the names of several Hollywood people who were suspected of being Communists. He did such a good job, he was named ‘full Special Agent in Charge Contact’ in 1954.
