Ruthie Tompson is about to turn 110 years old. She is a Disney Legend who worked with the company in one form or another from the 1920s until the 1970s. She was also one of the first women admitted into the Hollywood camera union.

We have an in-depth discussion with her about her life and career, but not before we spend the first half of the show presenting a behind-the-scenes history of SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS and discuss the ways in which the movie does and doesn't charm us.
