His name was Walt Disney’s last words
As a young actor, Kurt got some of his first major credits working for Walt Disney Pictures - including The Strongest Man In The World - and had a close relationship with Walt himself. In fact, the last words Disney wrote before he died were apparently "Kurt Russell".
The actor recalled how he learned about Disney’s last words in a 2017 interview with HuffPost.
Kurt said: "They pulled me into the office a couple years after he died, and this woman — who I don’t believe it was his secretary, but it might’ve been, I don’t know ― pointed to [something he wrote] and she said, ‘Do you know what that’s about?’ And I said, ‘No, I don’t.’[She said], ‘Because he wrote something after it. But then he went back up and he wrote your name. That was the last thing he wrote.’ And I said, ‘Oh gee. I don’t know what it’s connected to.’"
