      His father worked for a living too, unlike Walt who - even according to Disney's own propaganda - mostly sat in an office chain smoking while other people actually made the movies.

      He also ordered all his female employees to call him "Uncle Walt" and forbade them from dating anyone in the company, after he had met and married his wife through her employment under him.
