She was also known for her role as the voices of Martin Prince, Sherri and Terri and Üter Zörker in Fox's The Simpsons. Which she continued to do following Disney's acquisition of Fox until her death.

Russi met Walt Disney one time at Disneyland; Walt asked her what she wanted to do when she grew up, and she said work for him. He said "okay". Years after Disney's passing, Russi was indeed hired by the Walt Disney Company.^[1]

Additionally, she met Wayne Allwine, the voice of Mickey Mouse, during a recording for Totally Minnie. She was married to him from 1991, until his death from diabetes in 2009. They were both named Disney Legends in 2008, their plaques are presented together on the same post at the Team ― Disney Michael D. Eisner Building.
