Russi Taylor, who voiced Disney icon Minnie Mouse in hundreds of projects over the last three decades, died on Saturday, a Disney rep confirmed. Taylor was 75.
The cause of death was not disclosed.
“Minnie Mouse lost her voice with the passing of Russi Taylor,” Disney chairman 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.”
Iger continued: “We’re so grateful for Russi’s talent as well as the tremendous spirit and great joy she brought to everything she did.
