Look for this in the Golden Horseshoe!
Recently I had the honor of being hired by Disneyland for my archival knowledge as they planned a special tribute to Wally Boag and Betty Taylor, both of whom starred in Disneyland's long-running "Golden Horseshoe Revue." Wally was in the show from 1955 to 1982, and he passed away on June 3, 2011. Betty was in the show from 1956 to 1986 and amazingly passed away a day after Wally on June 4. In 2007, the third member of the group, Fulton Burley passed away. He performed in the show from 1962 to 1986.
At our tribute, Disneyland president George Kalogridis presented the families of Wally, Betty and Fulton with replicas of a special poster featuring the likenesses of each. The original poster would soon hang in the Horseshoe to pay tribute to these three Disney superstars.
Following the tribute, a special tribute for former cast and crew of the show was held inside the Golden Horseshoe, reuniting some for the first time in decades. The poster was on display as pictured here, and hangs in the Golden Horseshoe as a daily reminder to all Guests of the immensely talented trio who delighted audiences in every one of their tens of thousands performances.
