Career

Roy entered radio during the 1930s, appearing on The Rise of the Goldbergs, The Henry Aldrich Show, Pepper Young's Family. Marthy and Elmer, and many other programs.[3]

Recordings

Her recordings for children included the role of Winnie the Pooh on a recording with Jimmy Stewart,[3] and Cindy Bear on a Yogi Bear record.[7] Through Replica Records, Roy released at least one 33 rpm recording ("Helen's Holiday"), as well as three 45 rpm recordings with Helen Searles Westbrook and Betty Barrie: 1) Buddy's Butterfly 2) The Thistle/Buddy's Garden 3) Christmas Eve/Plasco Toys.[citation needed]

Her "summer" or weekend home was a place where she entertained many of the neighborhood children with her accordion, singing, and voice talents.
