Russi Taylor, the actor who voiced Disney’s Minnie Mouse for more than three decades, has died aged 75.
She voiced roles in The Simpsons, and other classic animated series including The Little Mermaid, Buzz Lightyear of Star Command, and Kim Possible.
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts on 4 May 1944, Taylor said she met Walt Disney – who first voiced Mickey and Minnie – when visiting Disneyland as a child.
In a sense Minnie makes me better than I was before ’cause there’s a lot to live up to.”
