For nearly 60 years The Thalians, led by Debbie Reynolds and Ruta Lee, have raised over $35 million for mental health related causes. A majority of the contributions have come through The Thalians Annual Galas, a Who's Who of the Hollywood elite honoring a Mr. or Ms. Wonderful with an award designed by Walt Disney himself. The coveted trophy is given to a member of the entertainment industry not only for their work on stage and screen but also for their behind-the-scenes philanthropy. A partial list of the honorees includes Frank Sinatra, Mary Martin, Lana Turner, Ed Sullivan, Shirley MacLaine, Gene Kelly, Sammy Davis, Jr., Lucille Ball, Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, James Stewart, Rita Hayworth, Count Basie, Liza Minnelli, Carol Channing, Carol Burnett, Sally Field, Mary Tyler Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Red Buttons, Clint Eastwood, Mickey Rooney, Hugh Hefner, and Smokey Robinson, to name a few.
Debbie Reynolds, who was recently honored with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, said, "We are thrilled that the Academy Film Archive will officially preserve The Thalians one-of-a-kind collection of Hollywood history that has served to help so many families heal the invisible wounds of mental health diseases."
