"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.

A quick but very enjoyable read for anybody who grew up in this country. She started her voice acting on radio and moved into cartoons for tv and theaters. June Foray is about the sole surviving member of a pantheon of great voice actors who seemingly did it all. She is perhaps best known as the voice of Witch Hazel (Both Disney and Warner Brothers), Granny (Warner Brothers) Rocky the flying Squirrel, Natasha Badinov and hundreds of others.

I'm a sucker for these autobiographies and I am always a little bit dissapointed. You can tell this was quickly put together, but June Foray is an awesome character and who doesn't love her witch voices and Natasha and all the others. I love the world of animation, so I knew I was going to like it enough.
Enjoyable quick read from June Foray about the formative years of Hollywood animation. Highly recommended if you're into cartoons.
I loved this book! It's so fun when someone you've heard for much of your life takes you "backstage." Bravo, Mrs. Foray!
very episodic and really not very interesting. I was disappointed.

“For reasons that will become obvious, I call this story, "There's a Horse in My Living Room." It's about how I wound up with a horse in my living room.”

“For the flip side of the record, we preformed yet another Dragnet parody, "Little Blue Riding Hood." The announcer, Hy Averback, explained that the color had been changed to prevent an investigation. Those were the McCarthy witch-hunting days and no one wanted to get caught being "Red." So of course, I was Little Blue Riding Hood with a sweet gentle little voice different from the maiden who was almost devoured by the dragon. I was also Grandma.”
