Over the years, David Rose worked at a long list of studios: Disney, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures, Lisa Rose said. He worked as an animator, a layout artist, a publicity artist, an art director, an illustrator and a designer.
During World War II, Rose was a sergeant in the Army unit that created training and propaganda films.
The unit included Hollywood filmmakers, including Frank Capra and John Houston, who contributed their knowledge of filmmaking to the war effort. Theodor Geisel, better known to the world as Dr. Seuss, was Rose's superior officer and a lifelong friend, Grossfeld said.
