Jeanette Armentrout Thomas, the widow of legendary Disney animator Frank Thomas (one of Walt Disney’s renowned “Nine Old Men”), passed away on Saturday September 29th, from age-related illnesses, at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena. She was 91-years-old. Jeanette was prominently featured in several documentaries directed by her son, Theodore Thomas, including Frank & Ollie, and Walt and El Grupo. ...
A long life well-lived. We tend not to think of the iconic Disney animators outside the Hyperion and Buena Vista studios, or that they had wives, families and multi-faceted existences away from work, but they did.
Mrs. Thomas was among the last surviving spouses of the Nine Old Men. Our condolences to the Thomas family.
