What a night! I had to do six encores at the club.

Actress, model, "Queen of the B-movies" Julie Strain has succumbed to complications of dementia at the mere age of 58. She had suffered head trauma in her twenties after falling off a horse, causing retrograde amnesia then and apparently the dementia much later.

Strain is best known for voicing (and inspiring) Julie in Heavy Metal 2000 and its video game adaptation. Her likeness was often used for Heavy Metal magazine covers during the 1990s. She was the former wife of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles co-creator and Heavy Metal editor/publisher Kevin Eastman. Heavy Metal published an autobiography, Six Foot One and Worth the Climb, in 1997.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not so sure where this should go. I was going to put it in The Voice Actors Appreciation Society, because of the "best known" thing, but then thought discussion shouldn't necessarily be limited to that. But I don't know if this is better.

Since it's May the Fourth, might as well post this bit of trivia:

DePatie–Freleng Enterprises- known for The Pink Panther, mid-60s Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies, many Dr. Seuss specials, The Bod Squad, and Time for Timer- handled the lightsaber effects for Episode IV.
I wonder if the new Dexter's Lab set will have Rude Removal on it. They were okay with putting The Whoopass Girls on the PPG set many years ago that they were advertising on Cartoon Network (albeit they muted every time it was said in the pilot). This set's clearly for adults.
They should file a lawsuit against MeTV Toons for stealing the classic cartoons away from Boomerang. Boomerang found the classic cartoons first.

I will miss your use of Mouse as your pfp, but since your name is LinusFan303, having Linus as your pfp only makes sense.
I haven't seen a channel launch as promising as MeTV Toons since The Hub. Let's hope their similarities don't extend to fate.
