'''Mary Kay Bergman''' was one of the most prolific voice actresses of the 1990s, with an extensive career in voiceovers for commercials, television, and movies. Her decade-long career saw her involved in some of the decade's most iconic cartoons, including ''[[South Park]]'', many of the first few ''[[Disney]]'' video sequels, and the ''[[Scooby Doo]]'' revival movies. Her career was tragically cut short by her suicide in November 1999.
 
Though many new cartoon fans don't remember hearing her voice, there was a period of time when her voice appeared in almost everything. She replaced Meg Ryan as the voice of Dr. Blight during the later seasons of ''[[Captain Planet]]'', and appeared in a number of the early 1990s Marvel cartoon adaptations, including ''[[Iron Man]]'', ''[[The Fantastic Four]]'', and ''[[Spider Man the Animated Series]]'', the latter as Gwen Stacy. She played Ariel's sister Arista in ''[[The Little Mermaid]]'' animated series, and was the official Disney voice of Snow White during the entire 1990s. She also played some of the iconic redheads of animation, including Barbara Gordon in ''[[Batman the Animated Series|Batman]]: Subzero'' and Daphne in the first three 1990s ''Scooby Doo'' films, ''Zombie Island'', ''Witch's Ghost'', and ''Alien Invaders''. She could do [[Cross -Dressing Voices|boy]] voices as well, ranging from Jay-Jay the Jet Plane to Timmy Turner on ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]'' pilot short ([[Tara Strong]] voiced Timmy Turner in the actual series). She also could be heard on ''South Park'', voicing every single female character on that show (except for a select few done by series co-creator, Trey Parker).
 
By 1999, she was perhaps the greatest voice actress in the world, but despite all of this, she had a deep, crippling depression that she kept secret from all who knew her (even her husband, whom she was ''very'' close to, knew nothing about the severity of her condition). Her condition, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), caused her to believe that she was losing her talent, despite what everyone around her who had a hint of her worries told her. The depression and anxiety in Bergman's mind culminated tragically on November 11, 1999, when she took her own life by shooting herself in the head with a shotgun. Her husband and his friend came home to find the body.
