I had no idea there was another Daphne voice....Stefanianna Christopherson was the only one I knew of, and she was going to be a sneaky pick in one pool or another. Looks like we are tapped out on Daphne deaths anytime soon, oh well. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A good question and one that reminds me that the only way a dead pool like the Deathrace survives is because the team captains are the eyes and ears for me sometimes.

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 10, 2018 Canadian-born Alan Bleviss, who swayed the American people as the signature voice of the Democratic Party and lent gravitas to hundreds of movie trailers and TV commercials, has died. He was 76. Bleviss died Dec. 30 in New York City after a long battle with lung cancer, his daughter Sarah Jenny Bleviss told The Hollywood Reporter. Classic movie lovers will know his sonorous, honeyed voice from one-minute movie trailers for Scarface, Dirty Dancing and On Golden Pond, as the voice of Enterprise rental cars commercials and as a host of other blue-chip advertisers like AT&T and American Express.

Death Impends 7,957 Posted January 28, 2018 On 7/27/2017 at 20:42, Death Impends said: Foray's death also made me wonder - who becomes the oldest living voice actor, only counting those primarily known as VAs? I think the answer is Doug Young, a Hanna-Barbera regular for minor roles during the 1960s (one of his few title characters being Doggie Daddy) who was born in 1919 and very low profile but seemingly still alive. Mark Evanier did a radio chat with him a decade ago so I'd assume if he went Evanier's blog would make mention of it, albeit very unlikely he QOs. Douggie deaddy. ETA seems he was also the last surviving non-guest voice to appear on The Flintstones. For guest voices Ann-Margret, James Darren, Leo De Lyon, and most of the Beau Brummels are all still living.
