[Ans] Who was the live action model used to create the Disney character "Tinker Bell?"

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Who was the live action model used to create the Disney character "Tinker Bell?""

Tinker Bell might be a cartoon character in Walt Disney’s animated film “Peter Pan,” but the fairy is based on a real person. Margaret Kerry was selected to play the part in the early 1950s to pantomime Tinker Bell’s actions in front of a live-action film camera to provide Disney’s animators with reference footage for the character. As Tinker Bell was to be non verbal, her movements would be integral, and the studio sought a dancer that could help embody the character. Margaret Kerry won the part and spent six months at the Disney Studios on a mostly empty sound stage pantomiming the role.
