Estelle
On April 22, 1928, Estelle Harris was born in New York City, and she would go on to receive the Online Film & Television Association Award in recognition of her work across screen and television.
Harris was an actor, comedian, voice actor, singer, writer, and television presenter — a range of occupations that placed her in front of audiences in several distinct formats. She worked in English throughout her career, moving between performance on screen, voice work, and the written word. That she held roles as both a performer and a writer suggests an engagement with her craft that extended beyond interpretation alone.
Harris died on April 2, 2022, in Palm Desert, just weeks before what would have been her ninety-fourth birthday. She had been a citizen of the United States throughout her life, rooted in the country where she was born. The Online Film & Television Association Award she received stands as a formal acknowledgment of her contributions to screen and television, two of the arenas in which she worked.
Quotes by Estelle
I like to write about the things I care about. It's no fun to sing about things you don't like.
I never do a show where the people just sit there and look at me. They always sing along. It's going to be a fun time.
I'm so, so full of joy that America elected Obama. He didn't win because he was black - people voted for him because he had a plan and because he talked sense and because you believed him.
