Again, I applaud your impeccable research. One sad note, though. I just found out (from an "In Memoriam" article in the magazine called TV Guide) that Janet Waldo passed away back on June 12 of this year at the venerable age of 96. Out of her vast body of work, she was best known for being the voice of Chuck's sister Nancy on SHAZZAN..and (more famously) Judy Jetson on THE JETSONS. But, it's probably not as well-known that she had also been a guest-star on the legendary I LOVE LUCY series! In that episode, she had played Peggy, a teenage girl with a crush on Ricky Ricardo (while a teenage Richard Crenna had demonstrated a similar infatuation with Lucy Ricardo).
RIP, Ms. Waldo. You can finally stop jiggling Ricky's legs.
Author's Response:
yes, and thanks for your videos to my private email address. I saw that Lucy ep back in 1993, but glad to be reminded.
It was a shame that both of them had crushes on married Ricardos, rather than each other. That could have worked, with the Ricardos introducing them to each other. Or did it end that way further in? I can't remember.
My favorite Janet Waldo voices are probably Hawkgirl (1980s Superfriends shorts), Lana Lang (Filmation 1966-67), and Princess on Battle of the Planets, and one comedic role she had in a Squiddly Diddly ep, where she said, "Not now, Junior. Your father has flipped... I mean, he's not well."
