My Take
Dana Hill's career moves me more than most. Gone at thirty-two, she still left work that people genuinely remember: Audrey Griswold in European Vacation, serious turns in Shoot the Moon and Cross Creek, and the voice of Max Goof in Goof Troop. Voice acting is a quiet kind of immortality; children who never knew her name grew up hearing her. I think of her as proof that a career's worth is measured in density, not duration. She packed warmth, comedy and craft into a short window, and the work has already outlived her by decades.
