  • June Foray , the voice of Rocky, and many many others, has passed away just under 2 months shy of her 100 birthday. Her last voice work was as Rocky in 2014!

    She will be missed.

  • When I saw the news, I was so sad. She did so much to further voice acting as a profession, and helped get the field the respect it deserves.

  • Saw the news earlier today, sad she passed, plus missed her 100th by that much. Looked her up and she did a lot of voices for characters of my childhood. Smurfs would have been different without Jokey and Looney Tunes won't be the same without the original voice of Granny around anymore. :(

    Thank You for story comments appreciated and help me know me they are being read and liked. :-) Note: My story comments can't nor are trying to replace reading the stories, simply my way of enjoying them and letting the authors know I enjoy them.

    The sad thing is all the work that she did for decades, without getting credited on film.

  • Rest in peace, June. The world won't ever be the same without Moose and Squirrel.

    I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.

  • Her autobiography was titled "Did You Grow Up With Me, Too?"

    Yes, June. We all did, and we were all better for it. RIP.
