Remembering a talented voice actor who left us much too early...

Born: November 4, 1944, she began her career in 1971 and as the years went by she lent her voice to quite a large list of popular animated programs.  The following is just a partial list...one note, some appearances were guest appearances.

"Lady Frankenstein"
"Tarzan and the Super 7"
"Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo"
"Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle"
"Blackstar"
"Spider-Man" (1981-1982)
"Smurfs" (1982-1989)
"The Dukes"
"The Chipmunks"
"The Secret of the Sword"
"He-Man and the Masters of the Universe" (1983-1985)
"Ghostbusters"
"The Transformers"
"Pound Puppies"
"Bravestarr"
"She-Ra: Princess of Power" (1985-1987)
"Superman" (1988 version)
"Beetle Bailey"

Her final recurring role was as Aunt May Parker on the animated Spider-Man series in the mid-1990s'.  She had previously voiced Aunt May in the early 1980's version of the show.  Her final recorded episode actually aired almost two years after her passing on February 22, 1997.  Voice actress Julie Bennett was brought in to voice Aunt May during the show's final seasons.  

The actress passed away on October 5, 1995 from brain cancer at the age of 50.  That is a tragic and much too early end for such a talented lady.
