Clarence Nash was born on this day. Nash was the very first voice of Donald Duck and the story of how he got started was that Walt Disney happened by when Nash gave his impersonation of a family of ducks. Disney declared Nash perfect for the role of a talking duck named Donald in their upcoming animated short, The Wise Little Hen. Nash went on to voice for almost 50 years, in over 120 shorts and films. The last film to feature Nash's famous voice was Mickey's Christmas Carol, released in 1983 although he continued to provide Donald's voice for commercials, promos and other miscellaneous material until his death.
