Dragnet, Leave It to Beaver and

for UPA’s Mr. Magoo franchise, Warner Bros.’ Looney Tunes franchise,
and the Fractured Fairytales segment

In 1961, she became the voice of Cindy Bear for Hanna-Barbera, which she
reprised over several Yogi Bear films
and shows. She also returned to the Superman franchise by
becoming the second voice of Lois Lane in Filmation’s The
New Adventures of Superman after the departure of original voice Joan
Alexander, and took on the role of Wonder Girl in the Teen Titans segments
of Aquaman. From then on, she spent much of her voice
career at Hanna-Barbera, moonlighting a few times for guest-roles in DiC’s The
Real Ghostbusters and Film Roman’s Garfield
and Friends, as well as continuing to appear on TV shows and
made-for-TV films. In 1997, she succeeded Linda Gary as the voice of Aunt May Parker
in Spider-Man:
