Ollie Johnston was born on October 31, 1912 in Palo Alto, California. Johnston attended Palo Alto High School and later went to Stanford University, where his father was the head of the romance language department. It was there that he met Frank Thomas, who would become Johnston’s friend for life and another one of Disney’s Nine Old Men. Both Johnston and Thomas attended the Chouinard Art Institute after graduating from Stanford.
