5. I added the comment that says they forgot June Foray
who was the voice of Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Natasha.

She's in her eighties and still active.

11. Since "The Jetsons" was mentioned, they also forgot...
George O'Hanlon, who was the voice of George Jetson. He was a character actor from the 50's and 60's.

23. Thanks. Ms. Foray, Mel Blanc and Daws Butler are the all-time greats.
I can't think of anyone who has as much vocal range or made a greater impact upon their profession.
