Voice Actor Vridays: June Foray

Chuck Jones once said, "A lot of people say June Foray is like a female Mel Blanc. I say Mel Blanc is a male June Foray." June Foray is probably the most prolific voice actor of all time with a career spanning over 65 years. At the age of 93 she still performs voices that she originated over a half a century ago. Voices like Looney Tunes' Granny and Witch Hazel, Rocky J. Squirrel and Natasha from Rocky and Bullwinkle. So a part of the legacy of animation is June Foray that he memoir is entitled Did You Grow Up with me Too?

Here is the trailer to a documentary about her:

Like with Daws and Mel Blanc, there's not much I can say about her that hasn't already been said. If you want to learn more about June, here's a really nice biography of her written for Animation World Network.

She's a brilliant voice actor and quite a pioneer in the industry I am always happy to be a part of. Here's to June Foray, this week's spotlight voice actor.
