56-year Disney Legend helped create `Small World'
In need of a job in 1944, Santa Monica High School graduate Joyce Carlson followed a friend to Walt Disney Studios in Burbank, Calif., where she landed work in the traffic department delivering mail and office and art supplies. But what started as just a job turned into a career for Carlson, who spent the next 56 years involved first with Disney animated movies and then theme park attractions worldwide. Carlson, who helped ink animated films such as Cinderella, Peter Pan and Sleeping Beauty before helping create the original model for the ''It's a Small World'' attraction for the 1964 New York World's Fair, died of cancer Wednesday at her home in Orlando, Fla. She was 84. As part of Walt Disney Imagineering, the company's theme park attraction design division, Carlson worked on many attractions but is most closely identified with ``It's a Small World.'' In addition to working on the model for the ride, she was known as the artist behind many of its singing dolls.
