Imagine being one of the people in the studio when Eleanor voiced Maleficent's laughter. That must have sent the chilliest chills to them, I would guess.
There's an interview with Mary Costa (Aurora) who said that Eleanor was a very petite woman, not threatening at all. She and the other actors listened in once while Eleanor was recording and Costa said you would have thought she was ten feet tall.
I had tuberculosis too and I can tell how painful it was for her if having TB and still had to work. damn, the fever and coughing🥲 but some ppl might have a little different symptoms due to the stage of the TB. RIP sweet lady🙏🏿
Fun Fact: Eleanor Audley actually gets to lay claim to voicing all three of the original Disney Princess Villains, as along with Lady Tremaine and Maleficent, she also voiced the Evil Queen in a 1949 audiobook version of Snow White. Also in that same audio book, Snow White was voiced by another Princess Eleanor Audley tormented, Ilene Woods the voice of Cinderella.
She voiced the Evil Queen, I didn't knew this, well, I know that in 1937 she was voiced by Lucille La Verne, but I did not knew there was a version that she voiced the Evil Queen, I will look for the version
That's why I love her voice it is so villainous and yet so elegant at the same time she's like an aristocratic lady or pretty much she could be like a queen or an empress I just love her evil laugh like I want it.
My grandma on my mom’s side of the family sounds like Eleanor Audley, and sadly she is a lot like her “mean” characters. She’s still alive, she turns 104 this year.
This! 100% while researching these actors it was so hard to find info outside of their careers. Im really interested in motivations and inspirations, and some of these people just dont have that info available, and its so sad!
Of all the Disney villains, Maleficent ranks as the absolute worst, but best. She puts a curse on newborn that will manifest in sixteen years, dragging out the agony endured by the king and queen. And does it with such sophistication. No wonder she's always the last enemy of every Disney video game!
Eleanor made the GREATEST female villain! SCARED me when I was a kid!! Maleficent is one of my favourite Disney villains and I CAN'T imagine anyone else playing the part! She really got to me!! JEEZ... the SCARY voice and WICKEDLY WICKED laugh were unique and perfect for each role she played! I ❤ the references to Betty White, btw! I'd DEFINITELY prefer spending time with Betty White in a pet shop, or at the zoo, over any of Eleanor's characters!! (if they were in real life) lol. Betty White was a sweetheart!🌟💕
@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 that's why i always felt like michelle gomez's lilith was familiar with someone! I'm gay for both of them they just give powerful effect to anyone 😍
By far my favorite of the Disney fairy tale rewrites. Maleficient is simply the definitive Disney villain. Wonderful character, she defined what a villain is to me. Thanks for bringing her VA to light!
Not all of the pictures are of Elanor Audley. Three times we see Mary Jane Croft instead of Elanore. And there was no change in Elanor's voice in her performance as Maleficent.
I saw her on tv shows throughout my childhood and always liked her snooty rich lady performance. She really made Maleficent a powerful character and the stepmother in Cinderella was fantastic. You can see how they used her image when they drew the characters and it made them so convincing. Thanks for the video about this great lady. Even as a kid I thought she was very regal looking.
Elanor Audley had a clean transatlantic accent. Her accent was very refined, like Eleanor Parker, Grace Kelly. Well spoken, cordial and well mannered. She could turn from friendly to mean. She had a wide range with her voice, going from calm, polite to brash and loud. Like Lucille La Verne before her, who was similar to Audley in the way she spoke. In many ways La Verne had influenced Audley greatly.
Thank you so much for this video. You help to shine a light on this unsung brilliant actress that didn't play the lead, as all we once striving actors longed for, but made a wonderful living elevating any production she was in. We love and remember you Eleanor Audley!
Maleficent is my favorite Disney villain precisely because of Eleanor's voice work. I really don't think we see another villain to match her until Pat Carroll's work as Ursula in 1989 for "The Little Mermaid". May they both rest in peace 🙏❤
Such a rich and beautiful voice and stellar presence. I absolutely love her performance as Maleficent and definitely her performance as Lady Tremaine is one for the ages. Rest in peace❤
A great lady! One of the best Character and Voice Actresses ever. Love seeing stills and movie clips of her in action. Her voice is so distinctive I can easily tell if she's in a radio production. RIP, dear Lady, and thanx so very much for the magic, music, and memories.
This was so cool to watch as Maleficent is my favorite of all Disney villains. I mean that quote where she says "You poor simple fools thinking you defeat me, ME! The mistress of all evil. Well here's your precious Princess!" followed by the cackle gives me chills everytime. Imagine being in the room when you hear that quote, or "Now shall you deal with me oh Prince, and all the powers of Hell!"
She was the best... no doubt. My favorite Disney villain is Maleficent and always will be!! It was her voice and cackle that I used/"channeled" every year when I had to do a creepy laugh for a haunted attraction during Halloween.❤ I have been nightly watching the old TV reruns of Green Acres and Beverly Hillbillies on MeTV and I am always thrilled when I see that Eleanor guest starred in an episode. 🤩
2:22 That scene scared me as a child and I saw in the theater in the 70s when Disney rereleased some classics for a summer long festival. Love the menacing yet elegant voice Eleanor provided! Great presentation! Learned a lot!
To Disney Villain fans, it's amazing to note that outside of Disney, she was mainly known as a comedian. You watch her in Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies or the Dick Van Dyke show, you may be surprised how funny she was playing snobby but ignorant society ladies.
There was one picture you used repeatedly from I Love Lucy that was not Audley. The actress in the black pillbox hat had a very distinctive whiney soprano voice that was nothing like Audley’s rich alto!
This was an Incredible Masterpiece Video for The Late Elenor Audley (1905 - 1991). Eleanor Audley did a Legendary Performance Bringing Lady Tremaine and Maleficent to Life.
Thank you so much for this video! I am obsessed with her voice. Just found your channel by searching for her.. you totally deserve way more views!! Can't wait to watch the rest of your content :)
Yes her voice is calm, collective, calculating, and oozing with confidence and best yet, chilling and convincing. When asked how she’s able to come up with that voice for the role, she answered, “Oh dear, what a awkward situation. Did you hear that, my pet? Oh they’re hopeless. A disgrace to the forces of evil. Okay listen well, all of you. Fools! Idiots! Imbeciles! This is my normal everyday talking voice!” LOL
I've often thought that if The Duchess appeared in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Eleanor would've been fantastic. Anyhow, job well done with this video.
The fairies are more like goddesses of nature guaranteeing through there blessing if well treated a life of prosper and good fortune. Whether tending towards good or evil. You just don't offend one by not inviting her, especially if she's considered one of the most powerful ones. Even a benevolent spirit can retaliate because of this. A evil one of course goes beyond cursing you and generations to come. Ironically in Perrault and Grimm version the king not so much to blame because not only they thought the wicked one was long dead. He didn't even have enough golden dinner plates lol! In this setting the fairies as guests of honor bestowing blessings on the newborn royalty, the offended fairy places the curse on her as a much more effective punishment towards the ungrateful king.Most well-known tale like this is myth of Perseus. Queen Cassiopeia calling herself and her children more beautiful than Nereids and therefore punished by Poseidon: her children slain in front of her eyes and Andromeda chained as offering to sea monster Cetus (in live action movies the Kraken).
This! Also giving the dialogue the fairies IMO contributed in this. Maleficent hoped it was oversight by the king, this call back to people not knowing her whereabouts, maybe even dead in Perrault. It's Merryweather claiming her not wanted, while the queen oddly inquiring: 'And you're not offended you're excellency?'
Maleficent really likes a good party KAKSKSKAKKAKAK , she was not invited to Aurora's christening , she doesn't likes to de excluded, I kind of ... understand her, she's my favorite villain ♥😈💀
I am a fan of Lucille Ball's show "My Favorite Husband," which was retooled as "I Love Lucy," and on the radio show she played Liz's (Lucy's) meddlesome mother-in-law. The pic in thos video from I Love Lucy was Mary Jane Croft not Audley though (who did appear in two late episodes).
The fairy godmother in Cinderella please, and also the three fairies in sSleeping Beauty. From voice, to actors and performances. Which of course, were all magical. :)
Binging the Dick Van Dyke show and recognized her voice right away! Of course Lady Tremaine would be the one to harass Rob Petrie every year about the community show
Really interesting post about the Eleanor Audley who played 2 of the best Disney villains ever! I am wondering though if the actress in the photo that mentioned “I Love Lucy” might not be Doris Singleton, who played Lucy’s frenemy Caroline Appleby.
I think it is. Theres a few pronunciation mistakes as well. Some of these early episodes had alot of those types of mistakes. If you check out my corrections videos, they correct alot of them at least
The picture you showed in I Love Lucy was actually Mary Jane Croft. At the end of the original series when the family moved to Connecticut. Elenor was a judge for the ill fated tulips, not Lucy’s neighbor.
Marvelous tribute to this character actress. Narration is beautifully delivered, so it is shocking to hear bunglings at 4:17 "Bodine" and 4:46 "Eunice".
yes, these early videos have a lot of pronunciation mistakes, if you watch some of my correction episodes I correct some of those. you might notice that once we change narrators the pronunciation mistakes practically disappear. I had a friend doing it for free for the first year or two, and they had to move on to other things. He didn't have time do to pronunciation research, and I write, research, and edit the episodes in my free time so I wasn't able to catch a couple mistakes even though some are super obvious. Not an excuse just an explanation. Someday I hope to come back to these episodes and do them better, If the channel ever takes off to the point where I can put more time in them I would love to get them more polished! I'm glad you like the episodes despite the mistakes!! Please don't hesitate to point them out, especially on the newer videos, I make a correction video every year to kind of set the record straight and I love to hear about things I may have missed in my research!
Sleeping beauty, still a classic, even to this day. Her voicework in that movie is amazing, and up until now I didn't even know who she was. Well I do now, R.I.P. Eleanor. To bad Disney can't make a movie worth a damn now, like the so-called remake of "Snow White"
The video keeps showing a picture of a woman from the I Love Lucy show. This isn't Eleanor Audley. It's Mary Jane Croft, who played Betty Ramsey on I Love Lucy.
This was Incredible Masterpiece for The Disney Legend herself The Late Eleanor Audley (1905 -1991). Eleanor Audley Truly did a Legendary Performance Bringing Lady Tremaine/The Evil Step Mother and Maleficent/The Mistress of Evil to Life. While Eleanor Audley's Performance as Lady Tremanie is Iconic but her Performance as Maleficent his Truly Magnificent I'm Truly shocked that Eleanor Audley was Sick at Time while Voicing Maleficent but she Truly had The Strength and Willpower to Deliver One Hell of a Performance.
A role I WISH SO MUCH she could have played would've been a movie about the Barker Gang and Ma Barker. I could almost see her being motherly and caring one minute, and vicious, bloody, and cruel totting around some machine gun the next. It would've been a live action take on her animated characters and very possibly could've topped Bonnie & Clyde and all gangster movies of the time.
great video, but isn't that actually Mary Jane Croft at the 1:01 mark (as well as 2 subsequent places)? Ms/ Croft was a semi-regular on many of Lucille Ball's shows, and while there is a similarity, I'm pretty sure that's her, and not Ms. Audley.
Imagine being one of the people in the studio when Eleanor voiced Maleficent's laughter. That must have sent the chilliest chills to them, I would guess.
There's an interview with Mary Costa (Aurora) who said that Eleanor was a very petite woman, not threatening at all. She and the other actors listened in once while Eleanor was recording and Costa said you would have thought she was ten feet tall.
I like Eleanor audley as maleficent and lady tremaine
If I could travel back in time and witness only one event…it would be one day of Eleanor recording in the studio! Bar none!
Eleanor Audley had a chilling voice for voicing Lady Tremaine from “Cinderella” (1950) and as Maleficent “Sleeping Beauty” (1959) by Walt Disney
Elenore Audley was fighting off a serious illness when she played Maleficent? And she still turned out that performance? Holy shit she's a badass.
I had tuberculosis too and I can tell how painful it was for her if having TB and still had to work. damn, the fever and coughing🥲 but some ppl might have a little different symptoms due to the stage of the TB. RIP sweet lady🙏🏿
I like Eleanor audley as lady tremaine and maleficent
She is a GODDESS...No less.
@@zoefang4563Yes indeed...but maleficent was some kind of hell goddess. 😈😁😘
Even though I have never met this women I sure as hell have alot of respect for her.
I'm amazed that 54 years later, her voice and video are still being used at Disney Worlds Haunted House and it's just as creepy...
Not her in the video but absolutely her voice :)
I'm not really amazed, with a voice like that any "upgrade" simply would not do. Plus, the Disney fanatics would have some sort of a riot.
I had read that her daughter did the voice for the head in the globe about ten yrs ago I think

@@edileneoliveira991 Don't bother I'll save you the hassle. th-cam.com/video/GCR9L6q1fF8/w-d-xo.html
Why didn't they recast Adrianna in the audio book? I thought Walt wanted her forever associated with Snow White?
I need to listen to this audiobook!!!!!
I will never forget her she voiced my favorite Disney villain 😭
Her voice still sends chills down my spine.
I know the feeling too well, she used to scare me too when I was a young child
Eleanor Audley’s voice mixed with Marc Davis’ animation doesn’t ever leave the mind.
That's why I love her voice it is so villainous and yet so elegant at the same time she's like an aristocratic lady or pretty much she could be like a queen or an empress I just love her evil laugh like I want it.
in 2014, they dare change Disney's ultimate villain to a misunderstood hero
My grandma on my mom’s side of the family sounds like Eleanor Audley, and sadly she is a lot like her “mean” characters. She’s still alive, she turns 104 this year.
I love her, my favorite classic Disney actress. I hope even with the new Maleficent movies nobody forgets her.
Loved her in The Beverly Hillbillies. She was the headmistress at Jethro’s school.
I wish we knew more about these classic Disney voice actors as people. What were their likes and interests? Their hobbies outside of their career.
This! 100% while researching these actors it was so hard to find info outside of their careers. Im really interested in motivations and inspirations, and some of these people just dont have that info available, and its so sad!

Basically, Disney wouldn’t be Disney without Eleanor.

I was so obsessed with Maleficent's character when growing up great video
Same, probably due to the character being heavily based on the Goddess Lilith
@@infjintegrityvsnarcissism7295 that's why i always felt like michelle gomez's lilith was familiar with someone! I'm gay for both of them they just give powerful effect to anyone 😍
I do LOVE Lady Termaine. She was brilliant and so evil, but I understand her motives.
I actually hate Lady Tremaine for being extremely unlikable, dumb and abusing Cinderella. So no offense done
By far my favorite of the Disney fairy tale rewrites. Maleficient is simply the definitive Disney villain. Wonderful character, she defined what a villain is to me. Thanks for bringing her VA to light!

I think that’s a still of Mary Jane Croft in “I Love Lucy.”
My sister is terrified when I voice maleficent cause I sound exactly like her
Can you record something for us and post it on TH-cam? Pleeeeease
Please???
LOVE Maleficent
Thank you for featuring Eleanor .she is also very funny on the Dick Van Dyke show!
Such a good tribute to her. Well done. ^_^
A great lady!
One of the best Character and Voice Actresses ever.

Maleficent is my favourite Disney villain 💜
*high-fives Corinne*
I think both Eleanor and Susanne Blakeslee are tremendous voices for Maleficent
To Disney Villain fans, it's amazing to note that outside of Disney, she was mainly known as a comedian.
You watch her in Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies or the Dick Van Dyke show, you may be surprised how funny she was playing snobby but ignorant society ladies.
I was very surprised checking out her TV roles, she's actually really funny!
You have to check her out in How To Marry A Millionaire. She plays an actress who gets drunk and it's absolutely hilarious.
There was one picture you used repeatedly from I Love Lucy that was not Audley. The actress in the black pillbox hat had a very distinctive whiney soprano voice that was nothing like Audley’s rich alto!

Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy :D
Eleanor Audley was so badass as Maleficent she made her scary AF. Terrific performance
Love these videos! Do you have one on Peter Ustinov? We LOVE him as Captain Blackbeard & Prince John! He’s another incredible Disney voice.
Eleanor Audley was one talented woman she can never be replaced.
Yes her voice is calm, collective, calculating, and oozing with confidence and best yet, chilling and convincing. When asked how she’s able to come up with that voice for the role, she answered, “Oh dear, what a awkward situation. Did you hear that, my pet? Oh they’re hopeless. A disgrace to the forces of evil.

My first villaness🥰🥰🥰🥰
Oh my God I love her voice and laugh!
I love Friedel Schuster as Lady Tremaine in the german dubbing the best. But Audley's Maleficent is overwhelming!
As feared i am of Eleanor Voice i absolutely love it at the same time.
I've often thought that if The Duchess appeared in Disney's Alice in Wonderland, Eleanor would've been fantastic. Anyhow, job well done with this video.
Great content, keep posting 👍
Thank you!

Maleficent’s reasons to lay the curse on Sleeping Beauty wasn’t petty. I think she had a great reason. She was disrespected.
Good point, but to murder someone over it? A bit of an over reaction imo.....then again shes evil, so it makes sense for her.
The fairies are more like goddesses of nature guaranteeing through there blessing if well treated a life of prosper and good fortune. Whether tending towards good or evil. You just don't offend one by not inviting her, especially if she's considered one of the most powerful ones.
Even a benevolent spirit can retaliate because of this. A evil one of course goes beyond cursing you and generations to come. Ironically in Perrault and Grimm version the king not so much to blame because not only they thought the wicked one was long dead. He didn't even have enough golden dinner plates lol!

What a wonderful voice
I am a fan of Lucille Ball's show "My Favorite Husband," which was retooled as "I Love Lucy," and on the radio show she played Liz's (Lucy's) meddlesome mother-in-law. The pic in thos video from I Love Lucy was Mary Jane Croft not Audley though (who did appear in two late episodes).
Eleanor Audley, also played Cinderella's wicked stepmother as well as Madame Leota at the original Haunted Mansion attraction
The fairy godmother in Cinderella please, and also the three fairies in sSleeping Beauty. From voice, to actors and performances. Which of course, were all magical. :)
Now, do one with Jeremy Irons and SCAR!!!!!!
She was a great voice as was Lucille LaVerne who was the Evil Queen in 1937!!
Binging the Dick Van Dyke show and recognized her voice right away! Of course Lady Tremaine would be the one to harass Rob Petrie every year about the community show
Really interesting post about the Eleanor Audley who played 2 of the best Disney villains ever! I am wondering though if the actress in the photo that mentioned “I Love Lucy” might not be Doris Singleton, who played Lucy’s frenemy Caroline Appleby.
I think it is. Theres a few pronunciation mistakes as well. Some of these early episodes had alot of those types of mistakes. If you check out my corrections videos, they correct alot of them at least
I like Eleanor audley as lady tremaine and maleficent
Also...her character in Beverly Hillbillies is named Millicent, just one syllable away from Maleficent. Coincidence? I find it hard to believe.
The picture you showed in I Love Lucy was actually Mary Jane Croft. At the end of the original series when the family moved to Connecticut. Elenor was a judge for the ill fated tulips, not Lucy’s neighbor.
She was also the homeowner the Ricardos bought the house in Westport from.
Marvelous tribute to this character actress. Narration is beautifully delivered, so it is shocking to hear bunglings at 4:17 "Bodine" and 4:46 "Eunice".
yes, these early videos have a lot of pronunciation mistakes, if you watch some of my correction episodes I correct some of those. you might notice that once we change narrators the pronunciation mistakes practically disappear.

I love Kristina Adolphson as the Swedish voice of Lady Tremaine !
She is amazing.
Sleeping beauty, still a classic, even to this day. Her voicework in that movie is amazing, and up until now I didn't even know who she was. Well I do now, R.I.P. Eleanor. To bad Disney can't make a movie worth a damn now, like the so-called remake of "Snow White"
The video keeps showing a picture of a woman from the I Love Lucy show. This isn't Eleanor Audley. It's Mary Jane Croft, who played Betty Ramsey on I Love Lucy.
EXCELLENT ACTRESS JUST LOVE HER
Ahem, @1:01 & @4:09 & @7:40 is a photo of Mary Jane Croft, it is not a photo of Eleanor Audley.
This was Incredible Masterpiece for The Disney Legend herself The Late Eleanor Audley (1905 -1991). Eleanor Audley Truly did a Legendary Performance Bringing Lady Tremaine/The Evil Step Mother and Maleficent/The Mistress of Evil to Life. While Eleanor Audley's Performance as Lady Tremanie is Iconic but her Performance as Maleficent his Truly Magnificent I'm Truly shocked that Eleanor Audley was Sick at Time while Voicing Maleficent but she Truly had The Strength and Willpower to Deliver One Hell of a Performance.
I love her as Rob Petrie's nemesis.
A role I WISH SO MUCH she could have played would've been a movie about the Barker Gang and Ma Barker.
I could almost see her being motherly and caring one minute, and vicious, bloody, and cruel totting around some machine gun the next.
It would've been a live action take on her animated characters and very possibly could've topped Bonnie & Clyde and all gangster movies of the time.
It was interesting when her voice was on green acres as Oliver Douglass mother
Malificent, scared me to death, Lady Tremaine, gave me the chills!
Eleanor Audley is my hero 💜
4:09 is Mary Jane Croft not Eleanore Audley
Thank you, I plan on making a corrections video eventually, and I'll be sure to include this :)
Her voice is epic. I especially love her as madame leota 😩😈
Also Bodine is pronounced Bo-Deen not Bo-Dine and Eunice is pronounced U-Niss not U-Nice.
It's pronounced MaLEFicent. Lef as in Left, not Lif as in Lift.
👏
MaLIFicent
LOVE YOU ELEANOR AS MALEFICENT
Nobody else can do Maleficent like Eleanor Audley
You should make a video of The Nightmare Before Christmas ! I love your videos they are so awesome! 👏👏
Thank you! That's a great idea! I think Ooggie Boogie would make a great episode, Ken Page is such a boss! Thanks for the suggestion :D
Superb laugh. Squad goals ;-D OMG MME LEOTA OF COURSE!
Love Eleanor Audley! Also, your picture from “I Love Lucy” is Mary Jane Croft, not Eleanor.
I love her she’s amazing! ❤
Indeed cinderella and aurora had the same villainess and fairy godmother ❤
I had no idea that Lady Tremaine and Maleficent had the same voice actress. They sound so different.
Quite similar to angela lansbury's speaking voice
She was beautiful
You've done many of them but how about a single video of the Disney Villains... including some of the newer ones.
The video would be a lot better if we could have heard Audley's voice in some of her early radio and film roles.
Brit Ponsett agrees with you!
great video, but isn't that actually Mary Jane Croft at the 1:01 mark (as well as 2 subsequent places)? Ms/ Croft was a semi-regular on many of Lucille Ball's shows, and while there is a similarity, I'm pretty sure that's her, and not Ms. Audley.
You are correct. thanks for the correction. :D
Jethro Bodine( Bow- dean)
And Eunice( - YOU- niss) Douglas
Uhm I'm sorry to bring it up, but in the title, her name is misspelt as EleanorE there's no E at the end.
At least that's fixable! Thank you!
unaccredited doesn't mean what you think it means.
She was definitely the mother in law type.
That laugh sounds like something straight out of Hell!😮

I wonder whether the animators drew directly on film of Elenore Audley acting. The motions and gestures are too accurate.
