RIP Margaret Kerry, the live action reference for Disney's Tinker Bell (1929-2026)

She died on June 11th, less than three weeks after her husband died. I didn't know how much other work she had done. In Disney's Peter Pan, she also voiced one of the mermaids. (The mermaid that she voiced has red hair, so she called herself "Ariel's great grandmother".) She was in Our Gang comedies. She was one of the voices in the infamous Clutch Cargo. (And apparently her mouth was used for the "Synchro-Vox".) She was on The Andy Griffith Show. She was in the live action wraparound segments in The New 3 Stooges cartoons (which were produced by her husband). And I'm sure that there's more.
