Faith Hubley, wife of John Hubley and an animtor in her own right, died this morning, December 7th, of cancer.
John Hubley worked for several studios, most notably Disney and UPA, before starting his own with Faith and together they produced some great shorts, winning three Academy Awards: Moonbird in 1959, The Hole (1962) and Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass Double Feature (1966). After John died in the late 1970s, Faith continued producing an animated short every year to date. She was remarkable and will be missed.
