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.
Ms. Waldo may be gone, but another legendary voice, June Foray, is still with us, and doing well at the age of 98.

She received her first Emmy nomination at the age of 94 and won, making her the oldest recipient of that award in TV history. Long overdue, especially when you look at her body of work.
Chuck Jones, one of the greatest animation directors, once said that Mel Blanc was the “male” June Foray. High praise, indeed.
