2 | Betty Jean Ward (born September 16, 1944 in Wilmington, Delaware) is a prolific voice actress, singer, former PlayboyBunny (yes, really), and licensed aviator. She is best known for her work on ''WesternAnimation/JanaOfTheJungle'' and her one-woman stage show, ''Stand-Up Opera''. Her second husband, Gordon Hunt, was a voice recording director for Creator/HannaBarbera (this made her the stepmother of Gordon's daughter, actress Creator/HelenHunt). Fans of 1980s cartoons remember her as Scarlett in the original series of ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', one of a handful of shows that juxtaposed her with Creator/MichaelBell. |
