Diane Marie Disney
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Diane Marie Disney (born December 18, 1933), is the only biological child of Walt Disney and his wife Lillian. She had, however, an adopted sister, Sharon Mae Disney, who was three years younger.
Diane is a noted philanthropist. Following her father's death, she has donated nearly five million dollars to various charities within the United States.
She and husband Ronald William Miller have six children. In the early-1970s, Diane and Ron Miller purchased a vineyard in Napa Valley, California. Since 1981, they have operated the Silverado Vineyards Winery on a tract of their Napa property. Miller was CEO of The Walt Disney Company until the early-1980s, when Diane's cousin Roy E. Disney removed Miller in favour of Michael Eisner and Frank Wells.
Diane read her father's original dedication fifty years later to the day at the birthday celebrations of Disneyland on July 17, 2005.
