Linda Larkin

You might not recognize Linda Larkin's name, but say "the speaking voice of Princess Jasmine" and a generation lights up. What fascinates me is how she built a vivid, headstrong, tender character using voice alone, never her face. The singing went to someone else, yet the Jasmine who actually talks, jokes, and defies her father is entirely Larkin's creation, lodged permanently in millions of childhood memories. Her 2011 Disney Legends recognition feels completely deserved. I have a soft spot for performers whose work outlives the spotlight, living on inside a beloved film rather than on a red carpet. That kind of craft deserves real applause.
