Biography:
During World War II, RJ White served stateside in a performance troupe called "Hank's Yank's." Did ventriloquism with a dummy named "MacGreggor."

Best known as the co-star of many Disney films in the 60s & 70s

Died before last 2 films were released.

Interred at Holy Cross Cemetery, Culver City, California, USA, in section B, L320, #10.

White's body was found lying at the bottom of his swimming pool, weighted down by the weight of a cast on his broken leg, having suffered a heart attack while in the pool.
