Have you heard of Margaret Winkler? She's the woman behind Disney's 100th birthday

On Oct. 16, 1923, Margaret Winkler agreed to produce and distribute Alice Comedies, a new series by Walt Disney. That contract is considered the founding document of The Walt Disney Company. (Disney)

The Walt Disney Company has been celebrating its 100^th birthday all year long. But it was on Oct. 16, 1923 that the magic began – thanks in large part to a woman named Margaret Winkler.
