Looking For Relatives of Norm McCabe:
As some of you may know, I am trying to put together a DVD of interviews that Tom Sito did in the early 90s with influential animators who had major impact on the field of animation but are not household names outside the animation world.
Norm McCabe fits this description to a "T" and we have a great interview with him. Norm was a soft-spoken man. Maybe that is why this master animator is not better known outside the animation community. Inside the animation community we know and love his work and we are well aware of his importance and impact on animation.
The problem is that there is no release form for this interview and right of publicity in California survives 50 years from date of death. After several weeks of research with lots of help from Linda Jones, Martha Sigall, Michael Barrier, John Canemaker and Paul Husband I have drawn a blank.
To the best of my knowledge Norm`s wife pre-deceased him and Norm died without heirs. Martha Sigall seems to remember a niece being mentioned a long, long time ago but she has no idea of the name or location of this niece or even if the niece is still alive.
So if you are that niece or in someway are related to the late, great Norm McCabe or you know someone who is, I would very much like to get in touch with you. ¶ 8:47 AM
