The grande dame of voice acting passed away last week and she was one of the first greats too, right there with Mel Blanc and Daws Butler.
Most people around my age know June as Rocky the Flying Squirrel’s voice and Natasha, the Russian spy companion to Boris Badanov. Her voice was very distinctive because I easily recall her appearance on The Simpsons from “Some Enchanted Evening” as the lady who answers the phone for the babysitting service. She was also Mulan’s grandmother in the cartoon of the same name. I did learn that it’s her voice as the Talky Tina on The Twilight Zone‘s “Living Doll.” Besides Rocky, June is immortalized at Witch Hazel in several Bugs Bunny cartoons and then Granny for the revivals of new stuff.
Thanks for all the funny voices June and contributions to animation.
