Sorry, I realised it myself just after I wrote it. You have to remember that outside this forum I almost never speak or write in English, so it is somewhat easier for me to make mistakes than it is for the other people here. Don't worry - my knowledge of Dutch is limited to "dank u wel" and "Het Kanon." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Death Impends 8,043 Posted July 15, 2009 For voice actors from that era, June Foray's a big one that's still around... probably the only big one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted July 15, 2009 For voice actors from that era, June Foray's a big one that's still around... probably the only big one. Does Janet 'Penelope Pitstop/Judy Jetson' Waldo count as a big one? She's 85 according to wiki and 91 on imdb. I wonder if she's done the wild thing with Peter Perfect yet.

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,704 Posted August 24, 2012 No puppets/Muppets thread? Jerry Nelson, who did Count von Count, Floyd Pepper, Dr Julius Strangepork and Robin the Frog amongst others, has been put back in the box. I don't know why I put him here, he didn't do the voices, just the puppeteering. Sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,674 Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) One of the most famous voices in Britain, Brian Cobby, has died aged 83.He was the voice of the speaking clock for 21 years. I never realised he was also this voice. Edit. No, he didn't die 'at the third stroke', just in case you were wondering.

Death Impends 8,043 Posted January 24, 2013 Peter Robbins - the voice of Charlie Brown in the 60s specials - arrested for "stalking and threatening his former girlfriend and a plastic surgeon who gave her a breast enhancement he apparently didn't like." Perhaps the enhancements were shaped like footballs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
