Gerry Johnson (April 4, 1918 - January 24, 1990) was an American actress and television host, best known as the voice of Betty Rubble during seasons five and six of the animated television series The Flintstones.

Early life

Geraldine Adelaide Schreiber[citation needed] was born in Jersey City, New Jersey.[1] Johnson was a native of Los Angeles[2] whose study of drama began when she was six years old. She won contests in drama at Madame Gordon's School for Girls and Beverly Hills High School and won the California Shakespearean Award.[3] She graduated from Stanford University,[2] where she majored in speech and drama.[3]

Career

Among her many stage, TV, and screen credits, Johnson created and hosted her own TV variety show in Dallas, Texas, Gerry Johnson's Variety Fair in the 1950s[3] and played Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest and several characters in Under Milk Wood in the opening season of the Dallas Theater Center.[citation needed] While she worked in Dallas, TV Guide selected her as the winner of its Outstanding TV Personality in the Southwest award.[1] After moving back to Los Angeles in 1961, she co-hosted on Red Rowe's Panorama Pacific.[2]

Johnson provided voices for The Flintstones and other Hanna-Barbera productions, and guest-starred on Bewitched. In 1964, she was hired by Joseph Barbera as the new voice of Betty Rubble for the final two seasons of The Flintstones, replacing Bea Benaderet who left the series[1] due to scheduling conflicts while she was starring in the series Petticoat Junction. Johnson provided the voice of a Frenchwoman, an Englishwoman and Betty in the 1966 feature film The Man Called Flintstone before departing from voice acting.[4]
