June Foray performed with Steve Allen and Wendell Nobel on the radio show "Smile Time" during the 1940's. I placed a copy of the sound file from it on the Internet Archive. <br /><br />http://archive.org/details/SteveAllenInSmileTimeUndatedFile3BNR Toasthttp://archive.org/details/SteveAllenInSmileTimeUndatedFile3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-64980103955012925752012-03-23T01:24:34.556-07:002012-03-23T01:24:34.556-07:00Interesting that Bea Benadaret, before Gerry Johns...Interesting that Bea Benadaret, before Gerry Johnson usurped her for the voicve rtole of Betty Rubble, replaced June Foray for the character role of "Betty", since June replaced Bea [and the obscure Marian Richman who'd passed by '56] at Warner..June besides at WB and Disneydoing the Witch Hazel did that at MGM in a short "Flying Cat" with a surprise O.Henry ending after it proves to be a dream [Martha Wentworth was the prototype and GInnny Tyler a rival for that same witch elsewhere].StevePokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15936757752447320636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-25611162876055817252012-03-22T18:07:53.805-07:002012-03-22T18:07:53.805-07:00bobby...thanks for the link!

I believe Jerry Beck said Foray apparently was duped into doing narration for this video, not knowing what images the voice-over was going to be paired with. It's just creepy to watch and I'd really like to hit the producers over the head with a tire iron for pulling this stunt.J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-24084557687092441422012-03-22T01:20:56.135-07:002012-03-22T01:20:56.135-07:00Let us not forget one of June Foray’s most unusual...Let us not forget one of June Foray’s most unusual (uncredited) credits. <br /><br />That of a talking “dragon” on the Lost In Space episode “The Questing Beast”. She does that in sort of a more spirited and energetic “Grammi Gummi” voice. The dubbed or disembodied voices rarely got screen credit on that show – most notably Dick Tufeld (voice of the Robot), much less other “costumed” monsters and aliens. <br /><br />It also reunites her with the voice of Snidely Whiplash, Hans Conreid, who plays a bumbling, Don Quixote-like knight. Imagine Snidely with a more Shakespearian bent and a touch of pathos. <br /><br />Didn’t she also do interstitials and “Next Week Previews” for The Man From U.N.C.L.E.? <br /><br />And, oddly, the Disney character of Witch Hazel lives on to the present day in the Donald Duck comic books – and is one of a very few (if any) “human characters” officially accepted in that “world”. <br /><br />That may be because the great Carl Barks, in his comic-book adaptation of “Trick or Treat” (1952), expanded it into something we comic fans came to love (with both originally “censored” and later “uncensored” versions) – while the actual Disney cartoon upon which it was based became a faded memory in those pre-home video decades.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-79626715006857992692012-03-21T23:34:24.561-07:002012-03-21T23:34:24.561-07:00First heard June Foray on the Stan Freberg record ...First heard June Foray on the Stan Freberg record St. George And The Dragonet in 1953 ("he boined me already").<br /><br />Not being on the American continent I didn't get to hear any of her other work.<br /><br />It wasn't till years later that I discovered who she was.<br /><br />Thanks very much for this interesting post.melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07479446504791569355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-30318963418811236822012-03-21T17:18:41.414-07:002012-03-21T17:18:41.414-07:00"Trick or Treat" was probably her bigges..."Trick or Treat" was probably her biggest role in a Disney short cartoon.

I didn't know just how much she did...only remembered seeing her name in the Rocky credits back when it aired originally...not knowing she was voicing Rocket J. Squirrel. I was probably about 14 or so, and had little knowledge about voice actors outside of Mel Blanc. Would love to see some of the telly commercials she did. <br />JackRadioWizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631501271656171874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5403931334822730200.post-33201942696558589942012-03-21T12:49:04.866-07:002012-03-21T12:49:04.866-07:00Before Foray played Witch Hazel for Chuck Jones, s...Before Foray played Witch Hazel for Chuck Jones, she played Witch Hazel for Jack Hannah -- it's the 1952 Donald Duck cartoon <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skdVouumMk4" rel="nofollow">"Trick or Treat"</a> the story is referring to (when the story was written, voicing for Disney was probably the far more impressive credit, though nowadays, everyone who remembers June playing a witch remembers her for the Warners' role, to the point that people forget that Bea Benaderet originated the voice).J Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175515543694122729noreply@blogger.com
