Dave Iwerks Catches Great In The Eye Of His Perceptive Camera Dave Iwerks, the firm-jawed young- er son of Walt’s long-time associate, Ub, has what is probably the most un- usual and rewarding of spare-time oc- cupations in the motion picture or any other industry - grabbing the great and near-great with his apt and active camera for a pictorial reference book which, to date, has been a decade in preparing. The best measure of his success so far lies in some of the Personalities who, through Dave’s persistence and salesmanship, have given up a good many hours of their own precious time to sit, usually in the familiär confines of their own living rooms, libraries or dens, for a little calming conversation and superior shooting. They include Lyndon Johnson, Rich¬ ard Nixon, the late John F. Kennedy*, Wernher Von Braun, Casey Stengle, Fred Astaire, Carl Sandburg, Boris Karloff, John Ford, Joe Louis, Upton Sinclair, Allan Shepard, Henry J. Dave lining up a Jack Benny portrait, and the results. Kaiser, Ed Wynn, Maurice Chevalier and Walt. Dave has covered more than 70 Personalities to date and almost ev- ery field of endeavor. A special effects expert at the Studio, Dave has had to travel many diverse paths to track down the famous. Occa- sionally it has proven difficult, as in the case of composer Igor Stravinsky, whose good friends, Jascha Heifetz and Lauritz Melchior, themselves former subjects for Dave’s perceptive camera, have not, so far, been able to pin down a sitting date. Besides his excellence with a camera, Dave has found that a high competence in the right kind of conversational prowess has been mighty helpful. He is careful to choose the right subject, usually staying off anything of vital or controversial interest to his subject. With Jack Benny, though-a serious man offstage — all Dave’s care was to no avail. His equipment took so much juice the Benny mansion’s main fuse blew, not once, but thrice. “Everyone kept calm, though,” Dave laughs, once Jack got his butler (not Rochester) to stand guard at the fuse box, loaded to the gunwales with fresh replacements.” Courtesy Disney World that 52% of the local savers have their accounts with us 10 THOSE 52 % ...
