Heather May North (December 13, 1945 – November 29, 2017) was an American television and voice actress, best known for voicing Daphne Blake in the Scooby-Doo franchise.

Early years

North was born in Pasadena, California.[1]

Career

North's career began with her appearance in the film Git! (1965).[1] Though she appeared in several live action films and TV shows, such as Jennifer Scott alongside Kurt Russell in the Disney film The Barefoot Executive (1971) and as Dr. Sandy Horton on Days of Our Lives from 1967 until 1972, she is largely remembered for her portrayal of Daphne Blake in the Scooby-Doo franchise. She took over the role from Stefanianna Christopherson in the second season of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! and ultimately went on to voice the fashion-conscious teen sleuth in various installments of franchise for more than three decades.[2]

Personal life

North was married to H. Wesley Kenney, producer of the NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives from 1971 until his death in 2015.

North died of bronchiolitis on November 29, 2017, at her home in Studio City, California, at the age of 71.[3][4]
