Russi Taylor (born on May 4, 1944 in Cambridge, Massachusetts) is the current voice actress for Disney's Minnie Mouse character. She has held this role since 1986, longer than any other voice actress. This includes performances in the Disney's House of Mouse and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse television series and the Kingdom Hearts video game series, among many others.
She also has also voiced Huey, Dewey, and Louie Duck and Webbigail Vanderquack in the DuckTales television series, the Donald Duck: Goin' Quackers video game, and in other appearances such as in the holiday movies Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas. In appearances where the three young ducks appear at an older age, such as in Mickey Mouse Works and Disney's House of Mouse, Tony Anselmo, the voice of Donald Duck, reprises Taylor's role as their voice actor. In Mickey's Boo to You Halloween Parade at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Mickey Mouse Works and in Disney's House of Mouse, she plays Clara Cluck. She voiced Daisy Duck in Fantasia 2000.
Taylor also provides the voices of various characters, including Martin Prince, Sherri, Terri and Üter in the animated series The Simpsons. In addition, she has participated in two Anime dubbing projects. The first is Daisy Nohara, Max, and Shin's Grandmother in the first English dub of Crayon Shin-chan, while the other is the voice of Otama in Disney's re-dubbing of Pom Poko.
She was the original voice of Strawberry Shortcake in the six 1980's TV specials (Currently, this character is portrayed by Sarah Heinke in the current franchise). Taylor was also the voice of Baby Gonzo in Muppet Babies, Queen Rapsheeba in Nickelodeon's ChalkZone (where she was credited as "Rosslyn Taylor"), Nova in Twinkle, the Dream Being, Pac-Baby in the Pac-Man TV series, the high-pitched Nurses that were mice in The Rescuers Down Under, Morning Glory in "My Little Pony", and currently does the voice of Birdie the Early Bird in McDonald's commercials. She is also the current voices of Drizella and Fairy Godmother in the Cinderella sequels. .
She also appears in Disney Princess Enchanted Tales: Follow Your Dreams, playing Fauna, alongside her Simpsons castmates, Tress MacNeille and Frank Welker. She was nominated for an Emmy for her voice work in PBS' series "Jakers" in 2006.
Russi Taylor is married to Wayne Allwine, the current voice of Mickey Mouse, much in the same way in private life (according to Walt Disney) the fact that Mickey and Minnie are married.
