It was made public today that voice actress Christine Cavanaugh died December 22 at the age of 51. She was best known for voicing the title role (the pig) in Babe, the character Chuckie on Rugrats and Dexter on the first two seasons of Dexter's Laboratory. (Candi Milo replaced her for the next two seasons.) Christine was also heard on many other series including Duck Tales, Aaahh!! Real Monsters, The Wild Thornberrys and The Powerpuff Girls.
I have about a dozen e-mails here asking if I worked with Christine and can therefore write a long, personal remembrance. No, I didn't and no, I can't. But she was much loved and respected in the industry. Here's the L.A. Times obit and if I come across the proper kind of tribute from someone who knew her well, I will certainly link to it.
