Everyone at this point knows Janet Waldo as a certified voice-over queen. On television, she portrayed Judy Jetson and many other cartoon characters. Over the air on the radio, she played Corliss Archer. Waldo's voice was often heard in many TV commercials in the 1950s and 1960s. One of her most enduring gigs in that field was as the narrator in many of the commercials for Mattel's Barbie line.
From my understanding, Waldo was the primary narrator in Barbie commercials from the 1960s until some point in the 1970s. Below are two ads in which her voice could be heard, both from 1964. The first advertises Barbie's travel costumes, while the second shows off Skipper, Barbie's little sister. I gotta be honest, until I found these videos, I didn't even know Barbie had a sister!
