Ginny Tyler (August 8, 1925 - July 13, 2012) is a Native American voice actress who appeared in dozens of cartoons and animated films from 1957 to 1992. In 2006, she was inducted into the Disney Legends program.[1] Tyler died on July 13, 2012.[2]
Early life
Merrie Virginia Erlandson was born on August 8, 1925[3], the first out of two children of Harrieth (nee Ruttenberg) Erlandson and Erland Erlandson. They soon moved to Seattle, Washington, where her brother Donald was born in circa 1926.[4]
Work
Tyler grew up in Seattle and her family had a rich legacy of storytelling and imitation of animal sounds, which proved very useful to her later on in her career as an artist. She first appeared before a radio microphone sometime in the 1930s and co-hosted, alongside Al Priddy the radio show Make Believe Island on KOL station. The show was moved to television, on KOMO-TV and renamed Magic Island by the early 1950s. Later, Tyler began to work more and more offscreen as a voice artist, appearing in several cartoons and narrating vinyl recordings of Disney classics like Bambi and Babes in Toyland. Tyler provided the voice of an amorous squirrel who falls in love with the young King Arthur while he is in the form of a male squirrel in The Sword in the Stone and becomes heartbroken after discovering that he is really human and sang for several of the barnyard animals in the "Jolly Holiday" sequence of Mary Poppins. She also played Jan on Space Ghost and Sue Richards, the Invisible Woman, in the 1978 television series Fantastic Four.
From 1960 to 1962 she also performed several voices for the series Davey and Goliath, including Davey's mother and his sister Sally. She was replaced by Nancy Wible, who had a similar voice (from both of their works in other series), but would use a louder tone than Ginny did. The two of them both played roles of carhops on the Flintstones episode "The Drive Inn" (made around the same time as the first episodes of Davey & Goliath) in 1960 and their voices were tough to tell apart.[opinion] In 1964, Tyler appeared as the Genie in several performances of Aladdin and His Genie for the Pasadena Playhouse.
In 1968, she was Flirtacia on Hanna-Barbera's The Adventures of Gulliver.
Although Tyler later retired and moved back to Seattle, she still did some recording for local productions.

Ginny Tyler died on July 13, 2012.
