Squirrel, [[CrossdressingVoices who was a boy]] (a.k.a. Rocky Squirrel).

In 1995, ASIFA-Hollywood, a chapter of the Association Internationale du Film d'Animation (the International Animated Film Association), established the June Foray Award, which is awarded to "individuals who have made a significant and benevolent or charitable impact on the art and industry of animation." June Foray was the first recipient of the award. At age 90, Foray became a contributor to ASIFA-Hollywood's Animation Archive Project.

In 2007, Canadian voice actress Britt Irvin became the first person ever to voice a character in a cartoon remake that had been previously voiced by Foray in the original series, when she started voicing the character Ursula (Foray's former character) in the new ''George of the Jungle'' cartoon series on the Cartoon Network.

In 2012, Foray was nominated for--and won!--her first Emmy Award[[note]]The Emmy categories for cartoon voices are relatively recent additions, so it isn't quite as big an AwardSnub as it may seem.[[/note]] for her role as "Mrs. Cauldron" on ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow.'' That may well make her the [[http://www.newsfromme.com/2012/05/09/important-question/ record-holder]] for the oldest Emmy nominee in ''any'' category. This caused series producer Creator/MarkEvanier to remark: "In case anyone's wondering what you have to do to get nominated for an Emmy, it's simple: Just be the absolute best at what you do for around seventy years."

Foray passed away on July 26th, 2017, just a couple months shy of her 100th birthday, leaving behind an incomprehensibly vast body of work that made her an indelible part of the childhood of numerous generations.
