Paul Winchell and John Fielder - tied for number 14

I am going to present a series of three duos - people who should be named, in my opinion, as Disney Legends together. This first duo has a unique tie together. Not only did they work together in many Disney films, they also died very close to each other. Paul Winchell was the voice of Tigger for many years and died June 24, 2005. John Fielder was the voice of Piglet for many years and died on June 25, 2005! Both actors are famous for other roles outside of Disney and both have stars on the Hollywood Walk of fame.
