Taylor was also known for voicing Minnie Mouse for a number of years.

News emerged on Sunday morning that voice actor Russi Taylor had passed away at the age of 75.

Taylor was perhaps best known for her work on The Simpsons, where she voiced classic characters like Martin Prince, Uter Zorker, and twins Sherri and Terri, over a 30 year span.

She also voiced the iconic Minnie Mouse character for the past few decades.

Executive producer of The Simpsons Al Jean took to Twitter to pay his condolences to Taylor, who he described as “a true delight to work with”.

She died on Friday in Glendale, California, Disney said in a statement. The cause of death was not released.
