However, it was her eight-year run starring as teenager Corliss Archer on CBS&#8217;s <em>Meet Corliss Archer<\/em> that left a lasting impression, even though Shirley Temple starred in the film adaptations, <em>Kiss and Tell<\/em> and <em>A Kiss for Corliss<\/em>. The radio program was the CBS answer to NBC&#8217;s popular <em>A Date with Judy<\/em>. Despite the long run of <em>Meet Corliss Archer<\/em>, less than 24 episodes are known to exist. Waldo later turned down the offer to portray Corliss in a television adaptation.<\/p>\n<p>In 1948, the <em>Meet Corliss Archer<\/em> comic book, using Waldo&#8217;s likeness, published by Fox Feature Syndicate, appeared for a run of three issues from March to July 1948, using the original scripts.The same year, Waldo married playwright Robert Edwin Lee, the writing partner of Jerome Lawrence. The couple had two children\u00a0and remained married until his death in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Waldo made a rare on-screen television appearance when she appeared as Peggy, a teen smitten with Ricky Ricardo on a 1952 episode of<em> I Love Lucy<\/em> titled &#8220;The Young Fans&#8221; with Richard Crenna. Ten years later, Waldo again worked with Lucille Ball, this time playing Lucy Carmichael&#8217;s sister, Marge, on <em>The Lucy Show<\/em>. That episode was titled &#8220;Lucy&#8217;s Sister Pays A Visit&#8221;. She also appeared on an episode of <em>The Andy Griffith Show<\/em> as Amanda. Waldo also reprised the role of Emmy Lou for some early TV episodes of <em>The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet<\/em>. Later, she was the female lead opposite Anthony Franciosa in the short-lived sitcom <em>Valentine&#8217;s Day<\/em> (1964).<\/p>\n<p>In television animation, she played Judy Jetson in all versions of the Hanna-Barbera television series<em> The Jetsons<\/em>. Waldo was the last surviving main cast member of the original <em>The Jetsons<\/em> series. In 1964\u201366, she took over the role of Pearl Slaghoople on <em>The Flintstones<\/em>, which was originally played by Verna Felton. Waldo reprised Mrs. Slaghoople on the Flintstones TV films<em> I Yabba-Dabba Do!<\/em> and <em>Hollyrock-a-Bye Baby<\/em> in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>She later provided the voices for Nancy in Shazzan, Granny Sweet in <em>The Atom Ant\/Secret Squirrel Show<\/em>, Josie in <em>Josie and the Pussycats<\/em> and <em>Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space,<\/em> Penelope Pitstop in both<em> Wacky Races<\/em> and <em>The Perils of Penelope Pitstop<\/em>. She later guest starred in <em>Thundarr the Barbarian<\/em> as Circe in the episode &#8220;Island of the Body Snatchers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Further guest starring roles include Beth Crane, a descendant of Ichabod Crane, in the episode &#8220;The Headless Horseman of Halloween&#8221; from \u00a0<em>The Scooby-Doo Show<\/em> in 1976. She voiced Morticia Addams in the short-lived 1973 cartoon series adaptation of <em>The Addams Family<\/em>. Waldo was the voice of Princess and Susan in the English-language version of Kagaku ninja tai Gatchaman, known as <em>Battle of the Planets<\/em>, and Hogatha in <em>The Smurfs<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In 1990, shortly after completing her role as Judy Jetson in <em>Jetsons: The Movie,<\/em> she was abruptly replaced with pop star Tiffany. The executive decision of Universal Pictures caused casting director Andrea Romano to say it was &#8220;a huge mistake on so many levels&#8221; and ask that her name to\u00a0be removed from the credits. Romano received volumes of hate mail despite her stance on the casting change. Voice director Gordon Hunt reportedly asked Tiffany to sound more like Waldo.<\/p>\n<p>According to Iwao Takamoto by the time of the film&#8217;s release, Tiffany&#8217;s fame had waned. He quipped, &#8220;The punch line, of course, is that fifteen years after the fact, Janet Waldo is still working while for most people, saying the name Tiffany automatically brings to mind a lamp&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Waldo did patch things up with Hanna-Barbera and continued acting on their television series. The movie version of <em>The Jetsons<\/em> was a box-office flop and a critical failure with most of the negative reviews directed at Tiffany&#8217;s acting and the replacement of the original voice of Judy Jetson.<\/p>\n<p>[wpdevart_youtube width=&#8221;640&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;0&#8243; theme=&#8221;dark&#8221; loop_video=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_fullscreen=&#8221;1&#8243; show_related=&#8221;0&#8243; show_popup=&#8221;0&#8243; thumb_popup_width=&#8221;213&#8243; thumb_popup_height=&#8221;128&#8243; show_title=&#8221;0&#8243; show_youtube_icon=&#8221;0&#8243; show_annotations=&#8221;1&#8243; show_progress_bar_color=&#8221;red&#8221; autohide_parameters=&#8221;1&#8243; set_initial_volume=&#8221;false&#8221; initial_volume=&#8221;100&#8243; disable_keyboard=&#8221;0&#8243;]YI0l4mFkWxM[\/wpdevart_youtube]<\/p>\n<p>[wpdevart_youtube width=&#8221;640&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;0&#8243; theme=&#8221;dark&#8221; loop_video=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_fullscreen=&#8221;1&#8243; show_related=&#8221;0&#8243; show_popup=&#8221;0&#8243; thumb_popup_width=&#8221;213&#8243; thumb_popup_height=&#8221;128&#8243; show_title=&#8221;0&#8243; show_youtube_icon=&#8221;0&#8243; show_annotations=&#8221;1&#8243; show_progress_bar_color=&#8221;red&#8221; autohide_parameters=&#8221;1&#8243; set_initial_volume=&#8221;false&#8221; initial_volume=&#8221;100&#8243; disable_keyboard=&#8221;0&#8243;]6YUT5EKVp_Y[\/wpdevart_youtube]<\/p>\n<p>[wpdevart_youtube width=&#8221;640&#8243; height=&#8221;385&#8243; autoplay=&#8221;0&#8243; theme=&#8221;dark&#8221; loop_video=&#8221;0&#8243; enable_fullscreen=&#8221;1&#8243; show_related=&#8221;0&#8243; show_popup=&#8221;0&#8243; thumb_popup_width=&#8221;213&#8243; thumb_popup_height=&#8221;128&#8243; show_title=&#8221;0&#8243; show_youtube_icon=&#8221;0&#8243; show_annotations=&#8221;1&#8243; show_progress_bar_color=&#8221;red&#8221; autohide_parameters=&#8221;1&#8243; set_initial_volume=&#8221;false&#8221; initial_volume=&#8221;100&#8243; disable_keyboard=&#8221;0&#8243;]swh_XwhfNKE[\/wpdevart_youtube]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Janet Waldo, the prolific voice actress best known for her role as The Jetsons&#8217; eldest daughter Judy, has died, her daughter confirmed to ABC News.
