Walt Disney Weighs In
You might have missed a certain enigmatic case between Russel and Walt Disney. Way before the legendary Mickey Mouse creator passed, he wrote “Kurt Russel”. Although why he would do such a thing remains a mystery, Disney could have been prophesizing Russel’s claim to fame. Interestingly, Russel was part of Disney’s child actor collection, being handed a long-term contract. Disney’s final scribbled words are definitely enigmatic. Maybe he held some secret knowledge about Russel?
Athletics Or Hollywood?
Prior to showbiz, Russel was a blooming baseball player with his sights set on the professional league. When he was a boy, he wanted nothing more than to be like his athletic dad, then committing himself to smaller leagues. As it turned out, Russel was actually quite a renowned second baseman, playing for both the Walla Walla Islanders and the Bend Rainbows. It was a torn rotator cuff injury that pushed him towards the dramatic arts once more.
