TV R.I.P. the Voice of "Smurfette"

Over her 60 year career, Bliss provided the voices for a variety of cartoon characters, including Crusader Rabbit, the first star of an animated series produced for TV.
Bliss was also the original voice of Elroy Jetson, but the actress lost The Jetsons job after she refused to change her name to cover up that she was an adult woman voicing a young boy.
Man, the old-timey world was WEIRD. Regardless... nice work, Lucille, and you will be missed.
