Kim Irvine the Executive Creative Director at Walt Disney Imagineering continues to follow in her mother’s footsteps as she will cameo in the Disney+ Halloween special, Muppet Haunted Mansion. Irvine will play a maid in the mansion. Kim Irvine is the daughter of Imagineer Leota Toombs, best known in the attraction for providing the face of Madame Leota and Little Leota (Hurry back).
For those who don’t know, Irvine fittingly provided her own face for the Leota characters for additions such as the seasonal Haunted Mansion Holiday overlay. She recently appeared in the six-part Disney+ docuseries, The Imagineering Story. Irvine joined her Disney Legend mother at The Walt Disney Company at a young age and has been a part of Imagineering for over 40 years. She is best known for her work on the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean. The tombstone for Cam Irving in Disneyland is a tribute to Kim Irvine.
