Jane Karyl Webb[1] (August 13, 1925 – March 30, 2010)[2] was an American film, radio, and voice actress, best known for her work on Filmation's cartoons.

Early years

Webb's mother was Estelle Sigrid Webb, a Swedish immigrant who was an operatic soprano and performed at the Metropolitan Opera.[3][4] Her father is named James Howard Webb.[1] She is a descendant of Walter Webb, who used to accompany George Washington on his surveying trips.[5][6]

As a high school student in Central YMCA High School, she was president of the student council and headed other student organizations.[5] On June 10, 1942, Webb graduated with the highest honors.[7][8] In 1943, Webb took flying lessons.[9] Webb attended Central Day College.[1]

Career

At the age of eight, she started her career as a professional entertainer when she was mistress of ceremonies, singing a Swedish song in a Chicago Century of Progress show.[5]

Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Edwards acted on multiple radio series, including the Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters.[10]

On April 19, 1939, Webb signed an acting contract with Paramount Pictures.[4]

In 1974, Webb appeared in Jim Backus's comedy album The Dirty Old Man, providing voices of two characters.[citation needed]

Personal life

In her private life, Webb collected spools, rode miniature horses, kept canaries, read "everything", and made her own recipes.[8][11] She had also written her own poetry, short stories, musical compositions, and a novel.[8][12]

In 1947, Webb moved from Chicago, Illinois to the neighborhood of Hollywood Hills, California, along with her family.[3] On July 22, 1948, Webb married Jack Lawson Edwards, Jr, brother of actor and cartoon voiceover performer Sam Edwards, at her parents' home.[1][13][14] The couple moved to New York City to continue their careers in television until they moved back to Hollywood Hills.[15] The couple had two sons, Alan James Edwards (b. April 23, 1951), a U.S. Navy member,[3][15][16][17] and Steven Monroe, a lead guitarist and vocalist.[3][15][16] In 1960, the couple moved to the neighborhood of Studio City.[3] Webb resided at 725 S La Huerta in Green Valley, Arizona, from 1989 until her death in 2010.[18] Jack Edwards Jr. died on September 5, 2008, in Green Valley, Arizona.[19]
