Laraine Newman

Laraine Newman earns my respect for one fact above all: she was part of the original Saturday Night Live cast. Being a founding member of a show with no template is like driving the first stake into open ground, and that takes nerve. She caught the improv bug at Beverly Hills High and then studied mime with Marcel Marceau in Paris, which tells me her craft runs deep. Her long voice-acting career impresses me even more, since surviving in work where your face never appears is pure proof of skill. I deeply admire performers who last, and she clearly has.
