“Minnie Mouse lost her voice with the passing of Russi Taylor,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement. “For more than 30 years, Minnie and Russi worked together to entertain millions around the world — a partnership that made Minnie a global icon and Russi a Disney Legend beloved by fans everywhere." Taylor also voiced Donald Duck’s nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie, and their friend Webbigail Vanderquack, in the original DuckTales animated series. Additionally, Taylor voiced The Simpsons' Martin Prince. "Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Russi Taylor a true delight to work with," tweeted Simpsons showrunner Al Jean.
