Christine Cavanaugh

Christine Josephine Cavanaugh

August 16, 1963 – December 22, 2014

Christine Cavanaugh died on December 22, 2014 at her home in Cedar City, Utah at the age of 51 of undisclosed causes. She was an American voice actress who had a distinctive speaking style and provided the voice for a large range of cartoon characters. She was best known as the voice of the title character in the 1995 film Babe, Gosalyn Mallard in Darkwing Duck, and as the original voices of Chuckie Finster in Nickelodeon's Rugrats and Dexter in Cartoon Network's Dexter's Laboratory. In 2001, she retired from voice acting.

In 1991, Cavanaugh voiced Gosalyn Mallard, the title character's adopted daughter on Disney's Darkwing Duckas well as the voice of Chuckie Finster on the Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats and later, in 1994, the voice of Oblina, one of the three main monster-students on Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.

Cavanaugh could also be heard on The Critic as the voice of Marty, Jay Sherman's son. Her voice credits also include the animated series Sonic the Hedgehog, 101 Dalmatians: The Series, Hercules: The Animated Series,The Powerpuff Girls, The Wild Thornberrys, and Recess, as well as the voice of Birdie in McDonald'scommercials. In the early 1990s, Cavanaugh also served as an announcer for The Disney Channel for "coming up next" bumpers.

In 1995, Cavanaugh lent her voice to the live-action film Babe in the starring role of Babe the Gallant Pig. She was offered to reprise her role for the sequel, Babe: Pig in the City, but decided against it and the role was instead played by her Rugrats co-star Elizabeth Daily, who voices Tommy Pickles. Also in 1995, Cavanaugh started doing the voice of boy-genius Dexter in Dexter's Laboratory, which began as a short under Cartoon Network's What a Cartoon! show and later became the first short to be adapted into its own series for Cartoon Network. She later won an Annie Award in 2000 for her voice performance as Dexter in the hour-long TV special Dexter's Laboratory: Ego Trip.

Cavanaugh also guest starred on several TV shows including Salute Your Shorts, Cheers, Empty Nest, Wings, The X-Files, Everybody Loves Raymond and ER, and had supporting roles in the feature films Soulmates and Jerry Maguire. Cavanaugh abruptly retired from voice acting in 2001 and returned to her native Utah; she cited as her reason a desire to spend time with her family. After her retirement, she was replaced by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter and by Nancy Cartwright (her co-star in The Critic) as the voice of Chuckie in Rugrats.

Good Night Ms. Cavanaugh

Your HOLIDAY SOR-BAY: An American Christmas Carol

Here is a "HOLIDAY SOR-BAY" a little spark of madness that we could use to artificially maintain our Christmas spirit.

Today is Humbug Day

An American Christmas Carol is a 1979 television film directed by Eric Till. The screenplay is based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol.

In Depression-era New England, a miserly businessman named Benedict Slade receives a long-overdue attitude adjustment one Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghostly figures who resemble three of the people whose possessions Slade had seized to collect on unpaid loans. Assuming the roles of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future from Charles Dickens' classic story, the three apparitions force Slade to face the consequences of his skinflint ways, and he becomes a caring, generous, amiable man.
