Kenworthy's work included Disney's first nature film, THE LIVING DESERT (1953), which won an Oscar as Best Documentary.
THE LIVING DESERT was followed by another Oscar-winning documentary, THE VANISHING PRAIRIE (1954).
Kenworthy also codirected PERRI (1957), a Disney "True Life Fantasy" about a squirrel. (My grandmother owned a children's book with photos from this film, which is a very early childhood memory.)Kenworthy received a technical Oscar for the Snorkel Camera System, coinvented with William Latady.
Kenworthy was named a Disney Legend in 1998.
