5	Barbara Dale Goodson (born August 16, 1949) is a Brooklyn-born voice actor. Her best-known roles are either older women (or old ladies in general) or young boys (and back in the day, {{The Smurfette\|Principle}} too). She is very well known as either [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]] or [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]]. Her capacity for [[LargeHam ham]] knows few bounds.

7	She is notable for being one of the first actors to get regular work dubbing anime, being very prominent throughout the 80s and early 90s, appearing in many projects considered [[GatewaySeries gateway drugs]] for anime fans at the dawn of the medium's popularity, and many titles regarded as classics today. She has also appeared in many older anime dubs that have since been [[DuelingDubs redone]] over the years.

75	!!Tropes associated with roles by Barbara Goodson:
76	* LargeHam: As [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Rita Repulsa]] and [[Franchise/{{Disgaea}} Laharl]].
77	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: When she isn't voicing elderly characters, she occasionally voices non-human male and female characters with a notably cute appearance, with [[SweetSheep Baby Chirin]], Katy the Caterpillar, and Unico being the most notable examples where she uses her "cute voice".
78	* WomanOfAThousandVoices: While she's able to voice elderly characters, even at the age of 73, she's still able to pull off her younger sounding voice for characters; Reu from ''Mugen Souls Z'' being the most recent example.
