My Take
Janet Waldo is the kind of artist I deeply admire precisely because most people knew her without ever seeing her face. From Yakima and the University of Washington, she became one of animation's defining voices: Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop, Josie, and the radio heroine Corliss Archer. There's a special craft in carrying a character on voice alone, and she did it for decades, breathing distinct life into each role. Living from 1919 to 2016, she was practically a living archive of American voice acting. To me she proves that the most enduring stardom can be invisible yet unforgettable.
