Mary Kay Bergman (June 5, 1961 – November 11, 1999) was a voice actress with numerous roles and bit parts in television, movies, direct-to-video animation, and advertising. She was born in Los Angeles, California.
Career
Bergman is best known for voicing most of the female characters in the animated series South Park and in the 1999 feature film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Her characters included Liane Cartman, mother of Eric Cartman; Sheila Broflovski, mother of Kyle Broflovski; Sharon Marsh, mother of Stan Marsh; Mrs. McCormick, mother of Kenny McCormick; and Wendy Testaburger. Originally, Bergman was credited on South Park as Shannen Cassidy because she was also serving as Disney's official Snow White voice.
Her other voice credits include the voice of Mrs. Butterworth in Mrs. Butterworth's syrup commercials, as well as various Disney movies (Beauty and the Beast, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, Toy Story 2), and as the voice of Jay Jay the Jet Plane, Daphne Blake in more recent Scooby-Doo animated movies, and Timmy Turner in Oh Yeah! Cartoons episodes of The Fairly OddParents.
Suicide
Her death at the age of 38 by suicide came as a great shock to those close to her, who were unaware that she suffered from mental illness and depression. She died in West Los Angeles, California of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. In her memory, her husband Dino Andrade established the Mary Kay Bergman Memorial Fund. The Fund contributes to the operation of the Suicide Prevention Center at the Didi Hirsch Community Mental Health Center.
