I always enjoyed Russi Taylor's work!

Yes indeedydidydoo. One of my favorite voice actresses out there. And come on, how would she not get a mention on a Muppet web board, being Baby Gonzo for 8 years or so. I loved how she really kept the style and tone of Gonzo's voice. Even better than most of the others on that show, keeping to their characters.

And let's not forget Heuy, Dewey and Louie. And Webby. I think she was the best one, and I like how they didn't revisit the old school H, D, and L, giving them Donald's exact voice. But she still made them sound very Ducklike.

I remember her best as the voice of Strawberry Shortcake, as I grew up with the original cartoon. She is a very talented voice actress, I had no idea she voiced so many different characters!

I've always thought it's adorable that she's married to Wayne Allwine, who does the voice of Mickey Mouse. It's like... Mickey and Minnie are married in real life.

Russi Taylor has always been a favorite voice actress of mine, even before I knew what a voice actor was! I grew up watching Muppet Babies and Duck Tales and always loved her take on Huey, Dewey, Louie and Webby. But of course, my favorite role of hers has always been Gonzo. He sounds cute and childlike, but he's still the familiar, [FONT=&quot][/FONT]classic Muppet that we all know and love. Every time I hear Gonzo in any given eppisode of Muppet Babies, I always smile or laugh.

Yes, Russi voiced Donald's nephews whenever she could. However, in Mickey Mouse Works and House of Mouse, the nephews were voiced by Tony Anselmo and were given back their Donald sounding voices so it would stay true to the classic Disney cartoons.

I remember in the 80's, I saw a TV special where it showed Russi Taylor, Frank Welker, Laurie O'Brien, and Howie Mandell all in a recording studio doing work on the Muppet Babies. I was surprised when I saw that Baby Gonzo was voiced by a woman and that Skeeter was voiced by a guy.
