Disney, Robert - Robert Disney was the brother of Walt's father, Elias. His wife Margaret was one of Walt's favorite aunts. Robert invested in the O'Zell Company, as Elias did, and later supported Walt when he moved to Los Angeles. Walt's first studio in California was, in fact, Uncle Robert's garage. Their relationship, however, was sometimes a bit rocky, as Robert made sure that Walt thoroughly appreciated his contributions. After Aunt Margaret died, Uncle Robert took a second wife, Charlotte. They had a son, Robert Disney, Jr.
