As one of the longest-lived voice actors in Hanna-Barbera's history, Janet Waldo found herself in many interviews over the years, whether on TV, print, or the internet. Around 2011, she did many of these to help promote the DVD release of the 1988 TV movie Rockin' with Judy Jetson. This is one of the more obscure ones from that time, from August 2011. This is an episode of the Retroist Podcast, and is all about both Janet Waldo and The Jetsons. During the podcast, she also discusses her early years in Hollywood, other voice-acting roles, and her husband's legacy as a playwright. Check it out through this link, and I hope you enjoy it!
Before I go, however, I also thought I'd throw in this extremely short clip of Janet at what appears to be an autograph show sometime in 1996. From my understanding, Hanna-Barbera voice actors (or, at least those involved in their classic cartoons) were pretty regularly featured at these events back then. Here, we see her as Judy fawning over the one and only Jet Screamer! It truly is impressive how she was able to sound almost identical to the Judy of the sixties series, even all those decades later. Also, look out for a quick snippet of fellow HB regular Don Messick at the end. It's a real shame there isn't more footage, as I would have loved to have heard from him here.
