Leo Salkin(1913-1993)

For years he worked in various capacities on the UPA Mister Magoo cartoons that were intended for television broadcast. Visitors immediately saw his physical resemblance to Magoo: he was a small, bald, round-faced gentleman (though his vision was fine). Salkin confirmed, however, that Magoo had been created long before he joined the UPA staff, so it was not based on him.
