Dynamic voice actress June Foray finally took home her first Emmy last night at age 94. The animation legend, who is best known for voicing Rocky the Flying Squirrel in the Rocky and Bullwinkle series, took home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for playing Mrs. Cauldron on The Garfield Show (Cartoon Network). Foray who also voiced Granny in last year’s Oscar-nominated Warner Bros. short I Tawt I Taw a Puddy Tat, is the founder of the Annie Awards.
