Alberto,
 
See http://www.hispanicmagazine.com/2000/mar/Letters/ and http://
hugetinymistake.blogspot.com/ for comments on Ted Williams' parents.

See http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/illegit.htm and http://www.neta.com/
~1stbooks/disney.htm and http://www.guardian.co.uk/friday_review/story/
0,3605,608815,00.html for Walt Disney's parents. I am not sure the evidence is solid for 
Disney for him being Hispanic; he does have a good history for bigotry and alcoholism 
however.
