Walt Disney was searching for a nimble mime/dancer/actor to be filmed performing live-action work for the tiny Tinker Bell in the animated feature “Peter Pan.” Margaret won the role and became the reference model for the three-inch sprite. Famed animator Marc Davis drew Tinker Bell’s antics based on Margaret’s acting. She also performed the voice of the red-headed mermaid in the movie.

A successful voice-over career ensued, using Margaret’s skills in 21 different dialects and 48 various character voices in over 600 animated shows. She is the voice of Spinner and Paddle foot and the females in the famous vintage “Clutch Cargo” animated series. “Captain Fathom” and “Space Angel” followed. Margaret can also be seen in many of the hilarious live-action segments that open and close the 139 episodes of “The New Three Stooges,” as well as be heard in the animated portion voicing all the kids, females, and various odd characters.
