Verna Felton

Verna Felton was an Emmy-nominated American character actress who voiced several characters in Disney animation films. She died of a stroke just a few hours before the death of Walt Disney early the following morning. Her son, actor Lee Millar, provided the voice of Jim Dear in Lady and the Tramp, while she provided the voice of Aunt Sarah in the film.

Outside of Disney, Felton is best known for providing the original voice of Pearl Slaghoople, Fred Flintstone's antagonistic mother-in-law, on The Flintstones.

Since her death, her roles have been given to Tress MacNeille, Russi Taylor, and Susanne Blakeslee.
