Recent portrait of Gerrianne Raphael

Gerrianne Raphael (born February 23, 1935) is an American stage, screen, and voice actress and voice actor. Though much of her career has been spent in the theatre, she is perhaps best known for her major role as the voice of "Pumyra" on the original ThunderCats cartoon.

Personal life

Gerrianne Raphael was born in New York City on February 23, 1935 to Sidney, a concert pianist and Evelyn Raphael.[1] Gerrianne also has a piece of art permanently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2] She was married to Noah Keen from 2004 till his death in 2019. Her three daughters, Kristen Weaver, Deirdre Weaver and Kathleen Weaver are all married.

Career

Gerrianne's first professional performances were on radio when she was four years old.[3] Her father was the concert pianist with the CBS symphony and he also played on Let’s Pretend — a children’s program of fairy tales and the very young Ms. Raphael would hold her script. Her first Broadway show was at seven years of age in a play called Solitaire by John Van Druten. She understudied Patricia Hitchcock, the daughter of Alfred Hitchcock. Since then, her countless stage performances would include the landmark production of Threepenny Opera with Lotte Lenya and Beatrice Arthur and the original Broadway production of Man of La Mancha (and numerous subsequent revivals and tours) as Aldonza. Having started in radio as a child, doing commercial voice-overs and cartoons was a natural progression. At one point Ms. Raphael had voice-overs for Revlon, Gloria Vanderbilt, Geritol and Helena Rubinstein all running at the same time. And the littlest dwarf on the Ajax commercials.
