Her voice was an integral part of my childhood. May she rest in peace.

Wow, first Alan Young, now this. Even though they both lived long, fulfilling lives, it's still sad to lose these actors who were all integral parts of our childhood.

May she rest in peace. Sad

2016 hit it's lowest point with Muhammad Ali but still won't give in with the death count. What a crappy year.

RIP

RIP. I can't say that I watched any productions she's been in but I do know her by name.

Tell me about it. Guess this year isn't quite finished with taking memorable VAs away from us.

And in addition to the American Jun/Princess and West Wind, let's not forget Penelope Pitstop ("Hay-ulp, hay-ulp!") contributing to the Japanese's strange love of Wacky Races. Smile

She sounded fantastic as Penelope Pitstop from Wacky Races and she was great as Judy Jetson as well... Janet Waldo will be missed dearly... R.I.P. Sad

She was very much a part of my childhood. I grew up watching the Jetson's and Battle of the Planets. She gave us all fond memories sitting in front of our TV screen eating sugar coated breakfast bombs while burning our eyes out on the beautiful colors that later shaped our own imaginations. We so looked forward to this daily ritual.

Janet Waldo was a VA legend of the times. She will be missed. Thank you for giving us all the fond memories as children during those grand cartoon years.

R.I.P. You will be missed.
