Nine And A Half Questions with Janet Waldo

Posted In | Columns: Ninehalf

Nine and a half questions? Why not ten? According to Will Ryan, everyone does ten questions. Today's hectic society expects concision.

Brevity.

Terseness.

In short, un-lengthy-osity-ous-ism-ness!

Janet Waldo has starred in more animated series than most people are aware of. From Josie and The Pussycats to Precious Pupp to Penelope Pitstop, the oddly monickered spinoff character from Hanna-Barbera's Wacky Races series. She also had the lead role in Alice In Wonderland, an amazing one-hour prime-time special written by Bill Dana and featuring a backup cast which included Sammy Davis Jr., Zsa Zsa Gabor, Howie Morris and Hedda Hopper! A couple decades later she reprised the role in Through The Looking Glass, the first American made-for-video animated feature film (which included songs composed by her present interrogator). Her backup cast in this production included George Gobel, Phyllis Diller, Jonathan Winters and Mr. T! Janet also starred opposite a live-action Gene Kelly in the animated prime-time network special Jack And The Beanstalk.
