This is not groovy.
RIP Janet.
Oh well.
Shit, really? That sucks. I just recently watched I Know That Voice and she was on it.

Judy was the only thing that made those unbearable 80s episodes watchable.
>Alan Young (96)
>Janet Waldo (96)
Fuck, the third is going to be June Foray, isn't it? She's the only other VA I can think of in her late 90's.
But really, I think Janet Waldo was the last surviving Jetsons cast member, so this is sad. Though lest we forget that she got cucked out of voicing Judy one last time when the studio decided to record over all her lines in the movie with the voice of some flavor-of-the-week pop star.

You just killed her, anon.
You're the reason June Foray is going to die.

Given that the rest of the cast averaged 10 years older than her...

Was she the first teenager main character in Hanna-Barbera cartoons?
RIP
Judy a QT
"I was already almost 40 when I got the role, so getting into it was a little bit difficult at first. I had to really think back on myself at 16 and what I was like."
Fuck that's sad to read right before going to bed
Pic related to Stan Lee when will you stop fucking the life force of others
Why exactly did they boot her from the cast of the movie anyway?

Braindead marketing/focus group studies mostly. They were afraid the Jetsons movie would just be a boomer nostalgia trip and kids wouldn't watch it unless they had some teenybopper icon on the cast that they could promote.
Of course it was a total disaster because Tiffany wasn't relevant anymore by the time the movie got released and she was also an absolutely awful voice actor.
The thing is, the Jetsons TV specials in the 80s already did shift most of the focus onto Judy while George was the main character in the original series. Most likely this was because they wanted to market it to kids and Judy was a more relatable character to them, also George O'Hanlon was an invalid in a wheelchair and required a lot of TLC to still be able to voice his character unlike the still fit and healthy Janet Waldo.

>Though lest we forget that she got cucked out of voicing Judy one last time when the studio decided to record over all her lines in the movie with the voice of some flavor-of-the-week pop star.
Wish someone would dig up her recording sessions if they exist and if/when the movie gets a blu-ray, it's an optional feature.
RIP
LOOKS LIKE I FOUND WALDO
>Waldo provided voices for some of the most famous cartoons in TV history, but was perhaps best known for her vocal portrayals of Judy Jetson, Penelope Pitstop and Josie from Josie and the Pussycats. She was also the voice of Nancy in Shazzan.
Didn't know she was those other characters too.

>By the mid-1980s, nostalgia for the 60s was becoming popular and so Hanna-Barbara decided to revive The Jetsons and brought back its original voice cast of George O'Hanlon, Daws Butler, Mel Blanc, Penny Singleton, Jean Vander Pyl, and Janet Waldo.
>However, O'Hanlon suffered a stroke around this time and was left blind and suffering from limited mobility.
>He recorded dialog in a separate session from the other cast members by having all lines read to him and then recited one at a time.
>He died of a second stroke on February 11, 1989 while recording dialogue for Jetsons: The Movie.
>According to voice director Andrea Romano, O'Hanlon found it difficult to read and hear and in the end he died in the recording studio doing what he loved.
>The film was dedicated to him, along with Jetsons co-star Mel Blanc, who died later the same year.
Aww... damn. Josie was a fave of mine back in the early 1970s. :-(

I hate to think this is how it will end for Dan Castallaneta, but it probably will.

Will his last words be 'Woohoo!" or "D'OH!"?
