Romanillos was born Jan. 11, 1963 in the Philippines. When he was six years old, His family moved to Queens, New York City where he grew up.  Later he enrolled at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, successfully graduating with a Masters Degree in Fine Art.

In 1988 Romanillos was hired by Disney Animation, who were at the time actively recruiting animators. He worked on many Disney and Dreamworks films, including The Princess and the Frog (2009), Madagascar (2005), Shrek 2 (2004), Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003), The Road to El Dorado (2000), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996), Pocahontas (1995), Aladdin (1992), Beauty and the Beast (1991), The Rescuers Down Under (1990), and The Little Mermaid.

“Pres was one of the most respected and beloved artists at our studio,” said DreamWorks Animation chief executive Jeffrey Katzenberg. “All of us in the animation community deeply mourn the loss of Pres … though his memory and legacy will forever exist in the characters he brought to life through his art.”

Romanillos is survived by Jeanine, his wife of 14 years. Plans for a life celebration are pending.

In 1948, as a favor for songwriter friends Mack David and Jerry Livingston, Ilene recorded “Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo,” “A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes,” and “So This is Love.” She didn’t know that Walt Disney would hear the demo recordings and hire her as the title voice of his upcoming animated feature “Cinderella”.

When Walt Disney heard her songs he selected her as the voice of Cinderella over 400 others who had auditioned for the part. “I learned a very good lesson – never pass up doing a good deed for friends,” Woods said. When asked what was the most rewarding part of working on Cinderella, Woods answered “knowing how timeless it is and that even after I’m gone to know my voice will be heard.”

After Cinderella, Ilene moved on to television appearances in programs such as The Steve Allen Show and in later life became a portrait artist. On February 12, 2001, she appeared at a Cinderella Ball celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the motion picture, held at Disneyland. In 2003 she was inducted as a Disney Legend, an award that honors individuals whose “imagination, talents and dreams have created the Disney magic”.

Family spokeswoman Sao Anash said Parker, who was also TV’s Daniel Boone and later a major California winemaker and developer, died at his Santa Ynez Valley home. Sadly, His death comes on the 84th birthday of his wife of 50 years, Marcella.

“She’s a wreck,” Anash said, adding Parker was coherent and speaking with family just minutes before his death. Funeral arrangements will be announced later.

Parker began his show-business career in the play Mister Roberts in 1951, although he is credited with the voice of Leslie, the chauffeur, in the 1950 film Harvey.

Parker became a contract player with Warner Brothers appearing in small roles in several films such as Springfield Rifle (1952), Island in the Sky, The Bounty Hunter and Battle Cry. In 1954, he appeared as Grat Dalton in the Jim Davis western anthology Stories of the Century in the episode The Dalton Brothers.

The role that Disney fans remember Fess the most for was his portrayal of Davy Crockett in the television series by the same name.  Walt Disney Studios hired Fess Parker in 1954 to play the legendary character in three episodes depicting his exploits as frontiersman, congressman, and heroic figure of the Alamo (in the first television miniseries though the term had not yet been coined). Davy Crockett was a tremendous hit with children, and led to a merchandising frenzy for all things Crockett.

Parker afterwards became a contract star for Disney appearing in many films such as The Great Locomotive Chase, Old Yeller, and Westward Ho, The Wagons! He also made guest appearances on many television programs; and composed and sang music.

He filled the occasional role of Tom Conrad, editor of the Diablo Courier in the syndicated western series, Annie Oakley (1954-1957), starring Gail Davis, Brad Johnson, and Jimmy Hawkins. In 1962, he starred in the title role of the TV series Mr Smith Goes to Washington and from 1964 to 1970 he starred in the NBC series Daniel Boone, portraying another historic figure of America’s frontier days. Turning down the title role of McCloud, Parker retired from the film industry in the 1970s, after a short-lived 1974 sitcom, The Fess Parker Show.

After his acting career, Parker devoted much of his time to operating his Fess Parker Family Winery in Los Olivos, California. The winery is owned and operated by Parker’s family, and has produced several different types of award-winning wines.

The operation includes over 1,500 acres (6.1 km2) of vineyards, and a tasting room and visitor center along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. In addition to wine, Parker is known for selling coon skin caps and bottle toppers at his winery, inspired by his Crockett and Boone characters.

Also noteworthy is the fact that Fess Parker was inducted as a Disney legend in 1991.

Parker is survived by his wife Marcella Belle Rinehart whom he married on January 18, 1960 and had had two children with: Fess Elisha III and Ashley Allen Rinehart. Fuenral announcements are pending.

We will miss you Fess. Thanks for all the memories. You are truly a Disney legend.

Disney, who had been battling stomach cancer, died at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian in Newport Beach, according to Clifford A. Miller, a spokesman for Disney’s company Shamrock Holdings.

John Frost of The Disney Blog points out that rumors of his declining health had been swirling for the last few years since he stepped back from his joy – yacht racing. He adds that only recently, since his absence at the dedication of the Walt Disney Family Museum, have the rumors grown more serious.

Roy toiled for years in the shadow of his famous uncle and his father, Roy O. Disney. However the quiet man in the cardigan sweater often lovingly referred to as “that darn nephew” would emerge as a forceful protector of family traditions.

In 1984 he led a successful campaign to oust Walt Disney’s son-in-law, Ron Miller, from the company. Nearly 20 years later, he launched another successful shareholder revolt against Michael Eisner. At both times Roy was extremely upset at the direction (or lack thereof) that the company was headed in.

James Bates and Dawn C. Chmielewski of The L.A. Times have a most excellent write-up related to these two events when Roy used his power and influence to keep The Walt Disney Company on course with his uncle and father’s original vision.

Roy is survived by his wife, Leslie, and four children from his marriage to Patricia Dailey Disney – Tim Disney, Roy Patrick Disney, Abigail Disney, and Susan Disney Lord. He is also survived by 16 grandchildren.

Funeral services will be private, followed by cremation. His ashes will be scattered at sea. Plans for a Life Celebration will be announced shortly. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his name to The Roy and Patricia Disney Family Cancer Center at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California.
