¡Feliz Navidad, Charlie Brown!
Bill Melendez
Tens of millions have watched "A Charlie Brown Christmas" every year since it first aired in 1965, but few realize the beloved special has a Mexican American godfather who transformed the popular newspaper comic strip "Peanuts" into a holiday classic.

The big picture: Bill Melendez directed the CBS special when few Hispanics worked in the entertainment business and quietly broke barriers with a project associated with the U.S. pop culture for more than half a century.
