Tinkerbell Character

Tinker bell first came to life back in 1953 when Peter Pan the movies was made.  Back then Tinker as she commonly known becomes very well known for being jealous of any girl who gets close to Peter Pan. Tinker Bell is also famous for her Pixie Dust; which when sprinkled on you can make you fly.

The first Tinker Bell to appear at Disneyland Park in California was played by a woman named Tiny Kline a very petite woman who was four feet ten inches tall and a mere 98 pounds. She was hired in 1961 to fly during the fireworks display. This portrayer of Tinker Bell was 71 years old and a former circus aerialist. At the end of her flight she was stopped by running into a mattress. Like the character Tiny played she was very temperamental. In 1964 Tiny Kline retired because of poor health.

Tinker Bell, an overwhelming standout from the film, went on to be featured in many Walt Disney ventures. She made appearances on television in the show Disneyland, which was done to promote the theme park Walt Disney was hoping to complete. In addition, she was on Walt Disney Presents, Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color, and finally, The Wonderful World of Disney
