Walt Disney Studios graciously provided me with the opportunity recently to discuss Peter Pan with two of the film’s stars: Kathryn Beaumont, who provided the voice of Wendy, and Paul Collins, who provided the voice of John Darling.
Kathryn Beaumont
Todd Garbarini: Thank you for speaking with me about Peter Pan.
Kathryn Beaumont: Thank you, it’s my pleasure!
Tg: I am a big fan of the Disney cartoons as I spent the better part of my childhood seeing them.
Kb: I'm so glad! They really are special, aren't they? The Disney cartoons really stand the test of time.
Tg: These are some of the earliest movies I ever saw in both movie theaters and drive-ins. I really miss the drive-ins. There are so few of them left.
