My Take
June Foray is, to me, one of the quiet titans of animation. You may not know her face, but you have almost certainly laughed at her voice: Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Granny, Natasha, Cindy Lou Who, Lucifer the cat. Working from the 1940s into her late nineties, she gave breath to characters across Looney Tunes, Cinderella, DuckTales, and Mulan, a career so long it spans generations of childhoods. What moves me is the sheer devotion behind that range. The Hollywood Walk of Fame star and Emmy feel almost insufficient. I think of her as the invisible architect of countless cartoon souls, and I hold her in real reverence.
