McAlester, Oklahoma, USA:
Blair's career began as a watercolor painter before joining the Walt Disney Studio in 1941. Blair started as a sketch artist before moving into art direction and inspirational sketches. Although a vast majority of her work was thrown out, Blair's fingerprints remain all over the studio's output both in animation and at various Disney Parks. Her signature design piece, It's All Small World After All, debuted at the New York World's Fair in 1964.
