Michael Eisner, the chairman-CEO of the Walt Disney Company since averting the takeover bid of 1984, is to be honored as the 65th “Pioneer Of The Year” at a special dinner organized by the Will Rogers Motion Picture Pioneers Foundation. Yahoo News has more on the story, announcing that Tarzan and Brother Bear tunesmith Phil Collins will perform at the event, on December 4th. The Foundation’s Assistance Fund “provides financial assistance to motion picture industry veterans who are in need of a helping hand” – I think Michael will be okay, don’t you?
