1. Conrad Responded to ProJared’s Statement by Saying She Was ‘There for Him’

Conrad responded to ProJared’s statement regarding his impending divorce saying, “I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’m here for you if you need me.”

O’Ferrall says of the nude photos that Conrad allegedly sent to ProJared, “Honestly @HollyConrad you look very ashamed and insecure in all the nudes you sent my husband.

2. Conrad’s Grandfather Was a Legendary Disney Animator Dorse Lanpher

Conrad’s grandfather was legendary Disney animator Dorse Lanpher. During his more than 40-year career in Hollywood, Conrad worked on classics such as “101 Dalmatians,” “The Little Mermaid,” “Aladdin” and “The Lion King,” according to his IMDb page. Conrad passed away in 2011 at the age of 76.

Animation Magazine published a statement from Conrad upon her grandfather’s death. The statement read:

Dorse Lanpher was my hero. He made my artistic career possible with his encouragement and talent, he was like a father to me and his only complaint was that I couldn’t get more famous than him (that would never happen, Grandpa).

His animation will live on and so will all that he taught me, even how to play the ukulele. He was proud of me enough to write about me on his blog and in his book and I’m never going to forget to live my life as art, as he always wanted and encouraged me to. And neither should any of us.

He lives on in his art and in his words. He liked like Cherry Pie from Marie Callender’s and Greyhounds. I recommend we all have one in his name, and in the name of those amazing effects that were animated by hand by so many talented artists, my grandpa included, and may they inspire generations of creative people with their magic. They inspired me.

Conrad writes on her official website that she was one of the subjects of Morgan Spurlock’s documentary, “Comic Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope.” In that same bio, Conrad says that she has worked in effects and costumes for Dreamworks, Adult Swim and Disney.

In a May 2011 blog post, Lanpher referred to his granddaughter as a “self reliant, self taught artist.”
