Ever wonder what Rocky the flying squirrel looked like?
June Foray was the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Natasha Fatale, Nell Fenwick, Cindy Lou Who, etc. She voiced characters for Disney productions, Walter Lantz's Woody Woodpecker's nephew and niece, and numerous characters in Warner Bros. cartoons, where unlike Mel Blanc she was not in the credits. Chuck Jones once said "June Foray is not the female Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc was the male June Foray".
Here are some highlights of her work. In 1960 she was the voice of Mattel's original "Chatty Cathy" doll. In 1963 she voiced the "Talky Tina" doll in the Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll". Born in 1917, by the age of 15 she was doing voice work on the radio regularly. She had her own radio show in the late 1930's, and continued in radio through the 1940's and early 1950's until Chuck Jones invited her to Warner Bros. Cartoons. She worked steadily through the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's. In 2000 she provided the voices of Rocky and Natasha once again in the Universal film The Adventures of Rocky And Bullwinkle, and in 2012 June was nominated for her first Emmy for the role of Mrs. Cauldron on The Garfield Show. She won, becoming the oldest Emmy award winner at age 94. What a career!!!
