As Walt Disney begins its search for a new chief executive, Yahoo CEO Terry Semel has emerged among Hollywood insiders as a top contender.

Semel has deep roots in Hollywood, having run a movie studio for two decades. His family still lives in Bel Air. And his success at turning around one of America's highest-profile technology companies could give him more cachet with a Disney board seeking to restore the struggling entertainment company's fortunes.
