I didn't see any mention of this yet, but Virginia Davis, Disney's first star in the Alice Comedies, passed away over the weekend at the age of 90.

So sad. :(
We have a great column by Wade Sampson about her:

Virginia Davis, who appeared in Walt Disney's pioneering silent films, has died at age 90.
Disney Studios spokesman Howard Green says Davis passed away at her home Saturday in Corona, Calif., from natural causes.
The pretty blond 4-year-old was hired by Disney in 1923 when he was just starting out in Kansas City, Mo. She later worked with him in Hollywood.
