Mini bio

  • Mary Kay Bergman did not have a face known to many - her voice was recognized more than anything else in the world. Although she was a big voiceover star in the 1990s, her true claim to fame was Trey Parker and Matt Stone's critically acclaimed adult animated television series, South Park (1997), in which she voiced almost all of the female characters. Sharon Marsh, Shelly Marsh, Sheila Brofloski, Wendy Testaberger, and Carol McCormick were only a few of the thousands of voices she performed. She helped Parker and Stone pave the waves of fame for "South Park" in the late 1990s, until her surprising gunshot suicide on Veteran's Day of 1999.

Trivia

  • As a child, she lived across the street from Adriana Caselotti, the voice of Snow White. Mary Kay would eventually take over as Snow White's voice for read-along books and commercials after Adriana retired.
  • Suffered from lifelong depression nobody knew of until after she committed suicide.
  • She was a Trekkie and when she was a child, she and her mother wrote letters to NBC to try and keep the original Star Trek TV show on the air for a third season. She also enjoyed attending Star Trek conventions and was a self-proclaimed, 'geek'.
  • Was the original voice for Timmy Turner in the The Fairly OddParents (2001)'s "Oh Yeah! Cartoons" shorts. Upon her death, Tara Strong (then Charendoff) took over the role.
  • Gained popularity for voicing most of the female characters on the TV show South Park (1997) (Stan's, Kenny's, and Cartman's mothers, Wendy Testaburger, Mayor McDaniels, Ms. Crabtree, Principal Victoria, Stan's sister Shelly, and Nurse Gollum).

Quotes

  • My idols were people like Carol Burnett, Gilda Radner, Tracey Ullman, Lucille Ball - in short, comedic actresses who had chameleon-like qualities.
  • My one regret is that I never got to meet Walt Disney.
