Christine Cavanaugh (birth name: Christine Josephine Sandberg) was an American actress from Layton, Utah. She emerged as a prolific voice actress in the 1990s, voicing roles in many films and television series. She chose to retire from acting in 2001, at the age of 38. Her most famous voice roles were the energetic tomboy Gosalyn Waddlemeyer-Mallard in "Darkwing Duck" (1991-1992), the timid Chuckie Finster in "Rugrats" (1991-2002), the heroic cyborg Bunnie Rabbot in "Sonic the Hedgehog" (1993-1994), the shape-shifting monster Oblina in "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" (1994-1997), the overweight boy Martin Sherman in "The Critic" (1994-1995), the orphaned piglet Babe in the film "Babe" (1995), the genius child Dexter in "Dexter's Laboratory" (1996-2002), and the prehistoric caveboy Bamm-Bamm Rubble in "Cave Kids" (1996).
In 1963, Cavanaugh was born in Layton, Utah. The city is a bedroom community for the Hill Air Force Base, one of the largest employers in the state of Utah. The base has been in operation since 1940. Cavanaugh's parents were Waldo Eugene Sandberg and his wife Rheta Mason. She and her family were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a nontrinitarian Christian church whose membership includes much of Utah's population.
In 1985, Cavanaugh married Kevin James Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh was her married name and she kept it throughout her career. The marriage ended in a divorce within a few years. She never remarried. She started performing voice roles c. 1988. In 1990, she had a guest role in the live-action sitcom "Cheers". She played Terry Gardner, the new roommate of bartender Woody Boyd (played by Woody Harrelson). The co-habitation does not work out because Terry's jealous ex-husband attempts to reclaim her as his spouse.
Cavanaugh had much more success as a voice actress in the 1990s, while her live-action roles were few. In 1997, she had a memorable guest-appearance in the science fiction series "The X-Files". She played Amanda Nelligan, a woman impregnated by a shape-shifter. The shape-shifter in question primarily used his skills to seduce women, and the investigating agents eventually found out that he had fathered at least 5 children.
Cavanagh abruptly chose to retire from acting in 2001, for personal reasons. Previously recorded episodes featuring her voice continued to be released until 2003. She was replaced by Nancy Cartwright as the voice of Chuckie Finster, and by Candi Milo as the voice of Dexter.
Cavanagh lived in retirement until her death in December 2014. She died at her home in Cedar City, Utah. No cause of death was mentioned in press announcements. She was 51-years-old. Her remains were cremated. Her ashes were scattered into the Great Salt Lake, the largest saltwater lake in the Western Hemisphere. Cavanagh is fondly remembered by animation fans,. A number of the television series in which she appeared have maintained cult followings for decades.- Director

She grew up in Funen, Denmark, as the daughter of an industry owner. As a child she took ballet lessons, and in the late 1930s she travelled to Copenhagen as a protegée of John Price to study at The Royal Theatre's acting school from 1937 to 1939. Her theatre debut was on 26 December 1939, in Henrik Ibsen's "Brand" at Folketeatret, Copenhagen, where she had steady work for the following 25 years. The play "Arvingen" is often cited as her true breakthrough. In the career that followed she was never unemployed and combined theatre with television and film performances. She also co-starred in the popular Matador (1978), but remarkably, she says her very best parts came when she was between 70 and 85. At the time of writing, her latest project is Afgrunden (2003) where she stars as Asta Nielsen. Through two marriages Vera Gebuhr has led an active family life, and the she is still in excellent health for her age.
- The second of six children born to Marcella and Lester Gomez Sr., Glen grew up first in the Irish Channel area of New Orleans, then in suburban parts of the city.

He continued to act in theatre and do commercial work and industrial films, in New Orleans and Houma, Louisiana (where he now lives, with his wife, Stephanie) until 2007. In that year, an inability to remember memorized dialogue became evident during a Houma production of Neil Simon's play "Rose's Dilemma."
Subsequent tests resulted in a diagnosis of the early on-set of Alzheimer's Disease. This has caused him to cease acting, although he still directs plays occasionally in Houma. - Actor
