You Know the Voice: E. G. Daily (1985)

Well before becoming an established voice actress, Elizabeth "E. G." Daily was doing more of her acting in front of the camera.

Take for example this scene from 1985's "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure". Dottie (Daily) is working at a bike shop, and pines for Pee-Wee Herman (Paul Reubens), who's more concerned about his bike....



All's well that ends well, though.

I might as well use this opportunity to mention that Reubens will reprise his role as Oswald (Penguin) Cobblepot's dad, a role he originated in 1992's "Batman Returns", on Gotham later this season, fulfilling a wish of the current Penguin, Robin Lord Taylor, who obviously knows his Bat-history.......

Interestingly, E.G. Daily originally intended to become a professional singer. She only had one recorded song that I'm aware of, "If You Want My Love, Say It". She even performed the song as a musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Of course, this was before she started doing voice overs.

It's actually called, "Say It, Say It", and I have a video up in the Archives. Just punch up her name in the search box, and you'll see the video.
