Richardson recalls childhood visits when Blair, living bi-coastally in New York and California, brought gifts and original art, and later memories tied to Disney\u2019s orbit, including Hazel George (Walt Disney\u2019s nurse and confidant) and riding the Disney plane. She describes Blair as warm, glamorous, and collaborative, noting Blair sought others\u2019 opinions while designing It\u2019s a Small World, and clarifies Blair was not an animator but a colorist, stylist, and designer whose bold modern style challenged studio norms. Richardson outlines efforts to preserve and share Blair\u2019s personal-art archive via the \u201cWorld of Mary Blair\u201d website, exhibitions including Tokyo\u2019s \u201cThe Colors of Mary Blair,\u201d and new apparel designs based on Blair\u2019s work, with products to be sold via MagicOfMaryBlair.com; she also mentions a Mary Blair screenplay in development.
