Speaking of Birthdays

Sunday was June Foray's birthday. You may know her better as Rocky the Flying Squirrel, Warner Brothers' Granny and Witch Hazel, or about a thousand other cartoon voices. I've never met her, but I did sit right behind her during a panel at last years Comic Con International. Aside from marvelling that I was sitting right behind June Foray, I couldn't help wonder just how old she was. If she had voiced the Warner Brothers cartoons as a fetus, she would still have to be in her 50's, and if I had to give a description to the police, that would have been about the age I would have fixed her at. She looked like she was aging well for a woman pushing 60. Really well for a woman who just turned 88.
