Лусил Блисс: Голос поколений мультфильмов

American actress (1916–2012)
A New York City native, Bliss lent her voice to numerous television characters, including the title character of the first made for television cartoon, Crusader Rabbit, Smurfette on the popular 1980s cartoon The Smurfs and Ms. Bitters on the Nickelodeon animated series Invader Zim. In addition to her television roles, she was known for her work as a voice actress in feature films.

Bliss' parents were James Francis and Frieda (née Simmons) Bliss. Her mother was "a classically trained pianist who wanted Bliss to train as an opera singer". Her father's death in 1928 prompted Mrs. Bliss and Lucille to move to San Francisco.

Bliss' first voice work was the role of the wicked stepsister Anastasia Tremaine in Walt Disney's 1950 feature film Cinderella, for which she was honored 50 years later by the Young Artist Foundation with its Former Child Star "Lifetime Achievement" Award in March 2000.

In the early years of television, Bliss acted in Harbor Command and The Lineup. At the same time, she did voices for Hanna Barbera while they were working for the Metro Goldwyn Mayer cartoon studio – as Tuffy in Robin Hoodwinked, as Leprechaun in Droopy Leprechaun and later was Hugo on an episode of The Flintstones. She was also the narrator on three stories from the Disney album "Peter Cottontail and Other Funny Bunnies": "Story of Thumper", :Story of the White Rabbit", and "Story of Grandpa Bunny". Bliss was also a voice over performer for Airborne radio spots in 2004.

Bliss produced and directed talent shows for the Embarcadero Armed Services YMCA in San Francisco. Some service personnel launched professional careers from those shows. She was buried at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
