June Foray was a "voice magician"! June's career began when she was 15, she had her own radio show Miss Makebelieve, and as they say the rest is yet to happen...1930-1960 she was the queen of the voice over, providing voices for cartoon as well as live animals. She along with Stan Freeberg,Pinto Colvig and the only other person to ever rival Mel Blanc Daws Butler recorded hundreds of records for children and adults..Disney caught hold of this and Hired June to do the voice of Lucifer in Cinderella. But at this time Warner Brothers also caught her and hired her as well. Her voice of Granny on the Tweety and Sylvester cartoon was her claim to fame. She also did other voices for WB but due to a clause in Blanc's contract she didn't get credit till later on. Well soon the voices of Natasha Fatale and Rocky were created.Hey let us not forget Fractured Fairytales and Aesops Fable's where she also provided many of the voices. Hey wasn't she also Betty Rubble, she ran a close second to another voice over favorite Bea Benederet. But Hanna Barbera, Rankin Bass, Walter Lantz, DePatie-Freleng have all made the voice of June's their own, No I take that back she was now one of our own, every american who enjoyed the cartoon, or for that matter anywhere that a voice over was required you would find June Foray. Thanks June for the wonderful fun.
