    Other Side Of Maleficent

    I have been looking forward to Maleficent with equal amounts of anticipation and dread. On one hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, so cold and so pure, and I want desperately to see more of her and her back-story. On the other hand, she is easily my favorite Disney villain, and I would hate to see her parodied, taken lightly or ultimately destroyed in a film that does not understand this great character. The good news is that this film almost gets it right; but that is also the bad news.

    Renegades of Animation: Pat Sullivan

    Pat Sullivan became famous worldwide for his creation of Felix the Cat. What most animation histories gloss over is Sullivan’s checkered past and longtime standing as a wildcat renegade. He didn’t follow the rules. And he made damn sure to fully protect his intellectual properties.

    Barbara Eiler Sperzel, a former actress who started her career in her teens, died July 16 in Sherman Oaks, California at 79.

    The mother of Universal Music president Kathy Nelson, the Los Angeles native died of complications at Sherman Oaks Hospital following hip surgery.

    Billed as Barbara Eiler, she provided the voice of poet Clement Clarke Moore's wife in the 1968 Playhouse Pictures/ELBA Productions animated TV special The Night Before Christmas, which aired in syndication.

    As a teenager, she appeared regularly on the radio programs The Life of Riley and A Day in the Life of Dennis Day (The Dennis Day Show). She was also on Screen Director's Playhouse, The Fabulous Dr. Tweedy, My Favorite Husband (starring Lucille Ball) and The Kenny Baker Show (Glamor Manor).

    She was one of several actresses who played Babs (Riley's daughter) in The Life of Riley, starring William Bendix.

    In live-action TV, she appeared in several early 1960s productions shown on The Wonderful World of Disney, including "The Swamp Fox," "Bristle Face" and "For the Love of Willadean."

    She guested on many Westerns and was in such series as Dragnet, Wagon Train, The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, Trackdown, The Loretta Young Show, The Dick Van Dyke Show and The Rifleman. She appeared in the 1958 war movie The Deep Six and the 1966 3-D science-fiction film The Bubble.

    Barbara Eiler Sperzel is survived by her husband of 45 years, Martin Sperzel, and two daughters.
