Context of the Note: The note was found on Disney's desk and contained several items, including "Ron Miller," "2 Way Down Cellar," "Kirt Russell," and "CIA—Mobley".

The Misspelling: Disney wrote the name as "Kirt," according to MousePlanet and Encyclopedia Britannica.

Significance: Kurt Russell, who had recently starred in Follow Me, Boys!, became a successful star in Disney's live-action films, such as The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

Legacy: While not literally his "last words" spoken, it was one of the last things he wrote, and according to a Reddit thread, Kurt Russell confirmed this story later in life.
