Disney Legends Die Within A Day Of Each Other

ANAHEIM (AP) — They shared a stage at Disneyland five days a week for nearly three decades and died within a day of each other.

Betty Taylor, who played Slue Foot Sue in Disney's Golden Horseshoe Revue, passed away Saturday -- one day after the death of Wally Boag, her longtime partner in the show.

Disneyland says the 91-year-old Taylor died at her home in Washington state. Boag, who was 90, died Friday. He had most recently lived in Santa Monica, Calif.

Boag, who originated the role of Pecos Bill, and Taylor logged tens of thousands of performances together from the mid-1950s until the early 1980s.

The Golden Horseshoe Revue is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest running stage production in show business history.
