"Like millions of people, I've been listening to June Foray for
most of my life. I remember when I first encountered Rocky and
Bullwinkle in their first season on TV, and falling under the spell
of Jay Ward's sharply-written, wonderfully performed cartoons. What
I can't remember is when I learned that the same woman who provided
the voice of Rocky also acted as Natasha, Nell, and a host of other
characters on the series, including the gravely-voiced fairy
godmother who was patterned after character actress Marjorie Main.
But as a diehard cartoon fan, it didn't take me long to memorize
the names of the actors in the show's credits (fleeting though they
were). "Around the same time I became enamored of Stan Freberg's
comedy records, including such hit singles as "St. George and the
Dragonet" and classic albums like Stan Freberg Presents the United
States of America. The rich, colorful voices on those records
became permanently ingrained in my consciousness, and in time I
connected the dots and realized that June, Paul Frees, and Daws
Butler were the same people I heard on so many cartoon
soundtracks." - Leonard Maltin, from his Foreword
