It was cool hearing her in Hunter X Hunter as Gon's Great-Grandmother and the Old Lady Quizzer.

Happy Birthday Barbara Goodson!

@pokemastanumba1 I agree especially bad girls/ guys roles.

@Fulgore2005 Wait what? I thought the person who played Rita Repulsa died recently.

...then again, maybe that's either the live action actress, or the Japenese Super Sentai actress I'm thinking of...or it could just be an internet rumor.

@Metabad You got it spot on.

The late Machiko Soga was the live actress. Barbara just did the voice.

@Fulgore2005 Ahh, got it.

@Metabad Not only that she voiced Rita in the Japanese dub of Power Rangers.

@Fulgore2005 She IS a good actress, but I wasn't thrilled with her Pazu in the JAL dub of "Laputa", nor any of her roles in the older dub of "Akira." I will say she DID sound great in the older dub of "Kiki", in "Metropolis" and other dubs I've been fortune to hear her in. It just depends, I guess, on the circumstances of the project.

@JTurner I don't know if you've seen Fooly Cooly yet, but I swear, if you just look up the FLCL Adult Swim promo on YouTube, it is one the most convincing boy voices I've ever heard a voice-actress do in my life. At least in terms of Anime actresses, I think it's the best I've heard.

@PsychicVoiceSpy I really have to check it out; I feel SOOOOOOOOO far behind in my anime. But I did hear of it. If Goodson performed well in that, hey, I'm willing to take your word for it. Just because certain dubs involving VAs don't always turn out well doesn't mean the VA in question can't act. As mentioned, I did like her in "Metropolis" and wherever else I heard her, so I'm willing to give FLCL a listen. ;)

@JTurner You may not like the show itself, I had to watch it twice and read analyses and stuff to understand what the heck was going on. Still, it's an excellent example of Barbara Goodson's talent.
