The voice artist helped bring to life many fondly remembered childhood cartoon characters.

Much-loved voice artist Christine Cavanaugh, remembered for her title role in the movie Babe as well as Chuckie in ‘Rugrats’, has died at the age of 51. She passed away at her home town of Cedar City, Utah on December 22nd, according to the LA Times which published her obituary.
