1. Christine Cavanaugh, Voice of Dexter, Babe & Chuckie, RIP

Voice actress Christine Cavanaugh passed away on December 22 at the age of 51. Cavanaugh was an unforgettable voice of Nineties-era animation, bringing to life Dexter on Dexter’s Laboratory, Chuckie on Rugrats, Gosalyn Mallard in Darkwing Duck, and the titular character in the 1995 feature Babe, just to name a few of her more famous roles. Cavanaugh abruptly retired from voice acting in 2001 at the age of 38, and was not heard from again until the announcement of her death today. No location or cause of death were announced by her family. The death announcement published today won’t do anything to answer the questions about Cavanaugh’s final years. The notice contains numerous cryptic and un-obituary-like comments that only deepen the intrigue, alluding to the “unpleasantness of reality,” “intelligence to…accept what fate had allowed,” and the “evolution in her life”: Many know of her from the roles she played, but in each role there was a part of her showing through that the ones who truly knew her could see. The childlike awe of the world, humor to deal with the unpleasantness of reality, strength to deal with the challenges we all face, and intelligence to know when to act or accept what fate had allowed. Christine lived her life the way she wanted. Accolades, notoriety, and recognition were not the reason for her interest in entertainment, it was for the love of entertainment, to make people smile. When her life changed she found herself needing the quiet of the country and her love changed from entertaining to hiking, reading, writing and living a simple life. Even with the evolution in her life her wit, wisdom and imagination were still alive and well. Cavanaugh did not have any children and was divorced from her husband Kevin James Cavanaugh. Her voice acting colleagues have been expressing condolences on Twitter: The moment I met #ChristineCavanaugh I was star struck & in awe. She had an ethereal beauty & unparalleled other worldly genius. #ripangel — tara strong (@tarastrong) December 30, 2014 Candi Milo, who replaced Cavanaugh as the voice of Dexter, wrote: @lego566 @chickenzach thank you both. very sad at the loss of my friend.
