She's as legendary as Mel Blanc. She did so much for animation. Lucky to have lived such a long, fruitful life....

Rocky & Bullwinkle especially had a big influence on my love of absurdist storytelling, and the voices were a big part of that.

She's the second person I think of when someone mentions legendary voice actors. After Mel Blanc of course.
She had an amazing talent.

She was a great talent and a really nice person. I grew up on cartoons. Her and Mel were the voices of my generation. Sad to see her go but happy she had such a great life.

I was shocked to learn she was the voice of the Talking Tina doll from what is still one of the creepiest episodes of tv ever to air. Such a stunning talent and I am so glad she lived such a long and productive life.
