Here's a pic of June, surrounded by some of the characters she gave voice to.
She worked on a few animated theatrical films that were made and released by Walt Disney Pictures over the years. It's interesting that she did the voice of Lucifer, the evil pet cat of Cinderella's stepmother Lady Tremaine in Disney's animated version of "
Cinderella" (1950). You know, Walt Disney used a lot of the same voice actors in many of his animated theatrical films over the years. I liked Disney's theatrical live-action version and remake of "
Cinderella" (2015), although the film did have it's flaws. Cate Blanchett gave a good performance as Lady Tremaine and Helena Bonham Carter was funny as the fairy godmother. Lily James gave a charming performance as well, but I still think that the animated version of "
Cinderella" is superior to it. I've loved Disney's animated version of "
Cinderella" (1950) ever since I first saw it with a friend of mine and her children quite a few years back.
One interesting difference between Disney's two theatrical film versions of the "
Cinderella" fairytale is that in the animated version, Cinderella's two stepsisters Anastasia and Drizella seemed to act far more cruel and mean-spirited to Cinderella and neither of the stepsisters had any redeeming qualities. This seems even more true, especially in the scene where Anastasia and Drizella tear apart the gown that Cinderella was wearing just as her stepmother and stepsisters are getting ready to leave for the ball. The gown had once belonged to Cinderella's biological mother and Cinderella's animal friends had fixed the gown up for Cinderella so that she would have a suitable outfit to wear to the ball.
In the live-action film, Anastasia and Drizella (her name is spelled liked "Drisella" in end credits of the live-action film) apologized to Cinderella for their actions toward her in one of the last scenes in the movie. I certainly thought the animated film portrayed the two stepsisters far better and even more effectively than the live-action version of the movie did. Eleanor Audley who played the mother of Eddie Albert's character in the classic television show "
Green Acres" (1965-1971) had provided the voice of and served as the live-action reference model for Lady Tremaine in Disney's animated version of "
Cinderella". Audley also provided the voice of and served as the live-action reference model for the character of Maleficent the wicked fairy in Disney's animated film "
Sleeping Beauty" (1959).
Due to my fundamentalist religious upbringing, I couldn't watch any form of media entertainment that had magic in it, so I didn't get to see a lot of classic films that involve themes dealing with magic until I was an adult. I was introduced to a lot of classic animated films and fantasy-themed films from many of my wonderful friends and their amazing children as an adult and got to experience some of the magic that I was denied as a child. I never thought I would have been able to feel like a child or be able to reconnect with my own inner child when watching such films as an adult. Some of my friends thought it was a little crazy that I had never seen popular fantasy-themed films like MGM's "
The Wizard of Oz" (1939) or Disney's iconic animated movie "
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937) as a child, and they thought that I should be introduced to them and many other movies right away. I'm glad that they urged me to do so and that they shared such fun experiences with me, when I think about it. I hate to think what I might have missed if I never gave their suggestions a try. So many people around the world get experience feelings of awe and wonder over such films when they are very young, unfortunately I didn't get that chance until I was much older.
