Born in small town Bainbridge, Georgia, Tom Bronson came to California and became
a true Hollywood success story. With ambition, perseverance, and the drive to succeed,
Tom was a master of his craft and an iconic fixture at Disney Studios. His joie de vivre
was infectious. With that quiet sly undercurrent of the distant south, he was a known
practical joker. Tom could light up the room exuding his personable magnetism and
simultaneously elevate the people around him.
Tom's career knew no bounds and his call sheets reflect every costuming position in
every format in existence. From designer to supervisor, costumer to consultant, his
filmography is an encyclopedia of the industry.
With a monumental work ethic and a skill for creating bonds of cooperation with his
crew, he was occasionally a tough boss, but he was also protective and beloved by his
teams.
