This summer, The Walt Disney Company is going to induct 11 people into a very distinct club by bestowing on them the honor of becoming a Disney Legend. The names of this year’s class have been announced and this is truly one of the best groups that may have ever come together in one place.
“The Disney Legends Award is the highest honor we can bestow; it’s a recognition of talent, a celebration of achievement, and an expression of profound gratitude to the remarkable men and women who have made an indelible mark on our company and our creative legacy,” said Iger. “This year’s honorees have earned a place in our hearts and our history for their significant contributions in film, television and our theme parks around the world.”
Here is the list of inductees for this year’s Disney Legends class at the 2019 D23 Expo:
- Robert Downey Jr.
- Jon Favreau
- Bette Midler

- Barnette Ricci
