Among the stable of "enormous" talents at The Walt Disney Studios, Claude Coats stood above the rest - literally. Claude, a background painter, color stylist and concept designer, stood 6-feet, 6 1/8-inches tall. The gentle giant with a warm wit once recalled how Walt used to kid him about his height. Claude said, "When the Disneyland Stagecoach was completed at the Studio, Walt and a driver were giving rides around the lot, but he wouldn't let me get in. He said I spoiled the scale."
