A sad cloud has eclipsed the world of animation since the passing of
beloved voice-over actress, Mary Kay Bergman. She recently has provided the
voice for Daphne Blake in the two most recent Scooby-Doo direct-to-video
flicks; Batgirl/Barbara Gordon in "Batman: Subzero"; the "official" voice
for Disney's Snow White; and all but one of the female voices on Comedy
Central's "South Park." Many questions surrounding the details of her
passing have surfaced since fans have logged onto her Web site which only
reads "In Memoriam. Mary Kay Bergman. (1961-1999)." After speaking with
Mrs. Bergman's attorney, Animation World Magazine is sad to report that
Mrs. Bergman's official cause of death has been ruled a suicide. Mrs.
Bergman took her own life on Thursday, November 11, 1999 in her West Los
Angeles home. She is survived by her mother, Patrica McGowen and husband
Dino Andrade. Mr. Andrade will make a official statement in the up-coming
days and a memorial will be announced in the near future. We will keep fans
and well wishers informed on any new information we receive about this
tragic event. We will all miss this talented woman.
