Gerrianne Raphael (born February 23, 1935) is an American stage, screen, and voice-over actress. 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.[1]
Personal Life
Gerrianne Raphael was born in New York City on February 23, 1935 to Sidney, a concert pianist and Evelyn Raphael.[2] She was married to Noah Keen from 2004 till his death in 2019. She has three daughters from her first marriage.
Career
Raphael's first professional performances were on radio when she was four years old[3] on Let’s Pretend, a children’s program of fairy tales. 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 have included the landmark production of Threepenny Opera with Lotte Lenya and Beatrice Arthur [4]and the original Broadway production of Man of La Mancha[5]. Having started in radio as a child, the progression to commercial voice-overs, "audiobooks" and cartoons was a natural progression. At one point Raphael had voice-overs for Revlon, Gloria Vanderbilt, Geritol and Helena Rubinstein all running at the same time. She had also provided the voice for the littlest dwarf on the Ajax commercials in the 1950s.[6]
