Sad to see another SD VA pass about, about 20 years after Don Messick as well.

1. It's kind of eerie how the announcement of her death was announced one year after the death of Gordon Hunt, who was the voice director for many Scooby projects from the 1970s and 1980s.

2. Heather's death makes Frank Welker the only original Scooby cast member still involved with the franchise

3. RIP Heather North

He was the only one still involved since Casey Kasem left. North wasn't actually the original voice of Daphne, either. It was Stefanianna Christopherson, who left after the first season of the original series.

20 years ago, we lost Don Messick.
3 years ago, we lost Casey Kasem.
A few days ago, we lost Heather North, the 2nd Daphne. (Let's not forget that Mary Kay Bergman, one of Heather's successors, passed away a few years ago, too.)

Let's see if CN/Boomerang does a marathon in memory of Heather.

FWiW, let's also consider her face acting resume (i.e. Days of Our Lives). I wonder if they'll mention anything on Days.....
