Disney Legends Awards Recognizes New Celebrity Honorees

 

ET was there as Disney recognized those who helped shape its legacy! The Walt Disney Company honored Barbara Walters, Frank Gifford and nine other leaders for making a significant impact on the Disney heritage. WatchBarbara tell ET about her contributions to Disney, and she also clears up some rumors about ABC's "The View."

The legendary television personality tells ET there is no truth to the rumor that view co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck is leaving the show over conflicts with other co-hosts.

"First of all we like each other, and everybody knows that," Barbara tells ET. "I don't think that politics is tearing us apart -- I think it's giving us more food to discuss and we do it with animation and with passion."

ET also caught up with Frank Gifford and his family. Watch wife Kathie Lee Gifford praise her husband for his personal and professional accomplishments.

Barbara and Frank were honored at the ceremony, which took place at the Disney Legends Plaza and was presided over by Disney president and CEO, Robert Iger.

The voices of Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Wayne Allwine and Russi Taylor, were also recognized for their help in making the animated mice so famous!

The 11 new Disney Legends include leaders in the field of music, journalism, art, performance, engineering and business.
