Herman “Hy” Levine, a veteran marketing executive who helped promote some of Hollywood’s biggest hits, especially within the Disney realm of entertainment, has sadly passed away.
As confirmed by The Wrap, the Disney executive and legend has died after battling pancreatic cancer.
When Disney fans think of The Walt Disney Company, a few thoughts come to mind. If you are a fan of the theme parks, you might think about Disney World or Disneyland, Main Street, U.S.A. the castle (whether it be Cinderella Castle or Sleeping Beauty Castle), the rides, and Mickey Mouse. Or, perhaps the company makes you think of Walt Disney himself. For many, the entertainment side of things is where Disney shines.
That is where Herman came in. Herman worked on some of the most influential Disney movies that have ever come out, and thanks to his marketing skills, we know about them all. Levine helped craft marketing for Disney animated smash hits like The Lion King, Aladdin, and The Little Mermaid, as well as live-action blockbusters including Down and Out in Beverly Hills and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
