Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep has described Walt Disney as a “hideous antisemite” during a speech at a New York award ceremony this week.
Ms Streep, who starred in The Iron Lady and Mamma Mia!, told guests at the National Board of Review dinner that the Hollywood mogul was part of an antisemitic lobby group - the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals.
She said: "Disney, who brought joy arguably to billions of people was, perhaps, or had some racist proclivities.
"He formed and supported an antisemitic industry lobbying group."
