Jane Webb Karyl,[1] (August 13, 1925 – March 30, 2010)[2] best known as Jane Webb, was an American film, radio, and voice actress, best known for her work on Filmation's cartoons.
Early years
Webb's mother was Estelle Sigrid Webb, a Swedish immigrant who was an operatic soprano and performed at the Metropolitan Opera.[1][3] She is a descendant of James Webb, who used to accompany George Washington on his surveying trips.[4]
As a high school student in Central YMCA High School, she was president of the student council and headed other student organizations.[4] On June 10, 1942, Edwards graduated "with honor".[5]
Career
In 1933/34, she started her career as a professional entertainer when she was mistress of ceremonies, singing a Swedish song in a Chicago Century of Progress show.[4]
Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, Edwards acted on multiple radio series, including the Tom Mix Ralston Straight Shooters.[6]
On April 19, 1939, Webb signed an acting contract with Paramount Pictures.[3]
During her later career, she worked on a large number of animated cartoons, mostly for Filmation.[citation needed]
In 1974, Webb appeared in Jim Backus's comedy album The Dirty Old Man, providing voices of two characters.[citation needed]
Personal life
In 1947, Webb moved from Chicago, Illinois to the neighborhood of Hollywood Hills, California, along with her family.[1] In Spring 1948, Webb married Jack Lawson Edwards, Jr, brother of actor and cartoon voiceover performer Sam Edwards.[7][8] The couple moved to New York City to continue their careers in television until they moved back to Hollywood Hills.[9] The couple had two sons, Alan Edwards, a U.S. Navy member, and Steven Monroe, a lead guitarist and vocalist.[1][8][9] In 1960, the couple moved to Studio City.[1]
Jack Edwards Jr. died in September 2008.[8][where?] Webb resided[when?] in Green Valley, Arizona during her later life.[2]
