There's one less reindeer that is able to guide the sleigh tonight. In 1964 Billie Mae Richards hit it big when she received the role of the voice of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Since the original Rudolph movie Billie Mae was the voice of Rudolph in " Rudolph's Shiny New Year" and " Rudy and Frosty's Christmas in July". Billie Mae Richards passed away Friday, September 17, 2010; she will be remembered every time children across America watch any of these movies.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Disney where dreams really do come true. Doug Parks could certainly attest to that if you believe what's been written about him. Although he never confirmed it a newspaper article named him as the first costumed Mickey Mouse when Walt Disney world opened in in 1971. Mr. Parks died at the age of sixty, and all of those years he would not say whether or not he was the first mouse, so as to not distract from the "Disney Magic".
