I didn’t know she had even been born yet.
Crazy to think the original Jetsons lasted only one season of 24 episodes but remains hugely popular and influential.
I don’t consider the 80s versions to be ‘canon.’
RIP. Loved watching re-runs as a kid growing up in the 80’s.
Finally, news from the nyt worth reading. They should stick to this kind of reporting, as apparently anything else is above their collective pay grade.
RIP Janet Waldo. Some of my favorite childhood memories. sitting in front of the tv on Saturday morning, Jetsons coming on, bowl of cereal in my lap. 1970s era Spider bike in carport waiting to be ridden all day.....
Cool show.
Always had a crush on Judy and Daphne...
RIP
>>Still one of the coolest shows on TV! And I’m waiting for George’s space-car that folds up into a briefcase...<<
I would settle for just the flying car!
Prayers for her family — we are losing so many people behind the memories of our childhood :(
I was just talking to a friend the other day, and mentioning that Janet Waldo was still alive. He’d picked up a copy of the b-western “Silver Stallion” (1941), of which she happened to be leading lady in, and we were discussing her career in radio.
She was also Penelope Pitstop.
two companies in Palo Alto working on that. One headed by google. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-06-09/welcome-to-larry-page-s-secret-flying-car-factories
at least one company in england also working on that. none of them fold up into a briefcase but they are designed to get into the carport. http://www.autoworldnews.com/articles/16361/20160405/britains-dyson-tech-introduces-a-new-electric-flying-car.htm
RIP.
