Christie Maltese? is she related to Michael?

I sawthe name Christie Maltese as the head Background Animator in the full length Disney toon Dinnosour, not great, but the backgrounds were good, as they were in Pocahantas, in which she was at a lower position, and in a number of other full length Disney toons. I have seen her name listed, and have always wondered if she were related to Micheal Maltese, the great writer of Road Runner Toons, and many great toons that Chuck Jones directed. So my question is, is this person related, to Micheal Maltese? I tried in Termite Terrace a week or so ago, no responce? Any takers for finding out if she is a daughter or niece? Why? Becuase Micheal Maltese I suppose has passed on, and I would like to know if his love for animation, is still being carried on by a family member? Thank you for reading this.....

Yes, Maltese has passed on, in February 1981, a couple weeks after his 73rd birthday. :eek: The writer on many Warners cartoon scripts, co-composer of "Michigan Rag", and voice of the heavyset beach bum in "Wakiki Wabbit", according to IMDb, never married and had no children. :(
