Has died. He was 97.
The story goes that Walt Disney asked him to host the opening of Disneyland, but that Disney couldn't afford to pay him more than union scale. Linkletter owned a camera store at the time and agreed, but only if he was also given a ten-year exclusive right to sell cameras and film at Disneyland. Disney agreed. Linkletter made a good fortune on that deal alone.
