"The Voices Of The Flintstones"

[Lamont Holmes]

Here are the actors who did the voices on "The Flintstones".


Alan Reed as Fred Flintstone
Mel Blanc as Barney Rubble
Jean Vander Pyl as Wilma Flintstone
Gerry Johnson as Betty Rubble
Harvey Korman as The Great Gazoo
Don Messick as Dino


Jay North("Dennis The Menace") and Sally Struthers("All In The Family") did the voices of Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm in "The Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm Show".

Don Messick was known as the voice of Astro in "The Jetsons",and
"Scooby-Doo". Mel Blanc continued doing voices for animated cartoons until his death in 1988. Jean Vander Pyl was also the voice of Jane Jetson on "The Jetsons". She too passed away.

If there was a "Flintstones" reunion,we can get the remaining voice actors. Just a thought.

Bea Benaderet was the original voice of Betty Rubble.

Lamont, I hate to tell you this, but all the original voice actors are deceased. The only ones left are Harvey Korman and I think Gerry Johnson.

[Marvo301]

Jean Vander Pyl was the voice of Rosie the Robot on The Jetsons. She wasnot the voice of Jane Jetson.

Anyone know the names of the performers who have been doing Fred's voice over the years?

I was doing some checking and Henry Cordon has been doing Fred's voice since the mid 70's (after Allen Reed died) and I assume he's still doing the Pebble's cereal commercials.

I think Cartoon Network is using someone else to do Fred's voice for the various promo spots and new toons, but I'm not sure.

[Brian Damage]

you are right about that.

FRED'S VOICE - ALAN REED died on June 14, 1977. After the original Flintstones episodes went off the air, he came back and did Fred's voice in the movie "The man called Flinstone." I believe the latest voice work as Fred came in the mid 70's when he voiced for the Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm show (Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as teenagers.) but Henry Corden finished and did Fred's voice for the commercials and the rest of the Flintstone movies to date, although another voice actor (don't know his name) who sounds very close to Reed's voice, takes over once in a while.

WILMA'S VOICE - JEAN VANDERPYL died on April 10, 1999. She was the last voice actor to pass away and the voice of Wilma never changed in over 3 decades. She also did the voice of Rosie on the Jetson's.

BETTY'S VOICE - BEA BENADERET died on October 13, 1968 - just 2 years after the Flintstones went off the air. She died of lung cancer. She was by far the best voice of Betty. Several other voice actors tried to imitate her holsome "Betty like" voice in all the Flintstone movies, but none ever came close. And none ever came close to Betty's trademark laugh. Gerry Johnson came in and did Betty's voice after Bea left the Flintstones to do Petticoat Junction. In all the movies, Betty's voice was most horrible in "The Jetson's meet the Flintstones," where the voice actor sounded like she was being strangled.

[Marvo301]

Besides Rosie, Jean Vander Pyl voiced several other characters on the Jetsons including Mrs. Spacely and also Mr. Spacely's secretary. She was not however the voice of Jane Jetson. Penny Singleton was the voice of Jane.

Don Messick was known as the voice of Astro in "The Jetsons",and
"Scooby-Doo". Mel Blanc continued doing voices for animated cartoons until his death in 1988. Jean Vander Pyl was also the voice of Jane Jetson on "The Jetsons". She too passed away.

Don Messick did NOT do Dino's voice in the original series...he did Arnold the Papaerboy and Bamm-Bamm Rubble (and, occasionally, Joe Rockhead).

Dino's voice was provided by Doug Young ("No Help Wnted", originally broadcast 21 October 1960); Jerry Mann ("The Snorkasaurus Hunter"{the infamous "Talking Dino" episode}, originally broadcast 27 January 1961); and Mel Blanc (every episode following threrafter, all the way through "The Flintstone Kids" in the late 1980s.)

Jean Vander Pyl was the only original voice to survive the many incarnations of "The Flintstones"; indeed, she was the only voice artist retained from the original "Flagstones" two-minute pilot made in 1959 (Fred and Barney were voiced by Daws"Yogi Bear" Butler {who would do Barney's voice briefly during the start of the 1961-62 season, when Mel Blanc was recuperating from a near-fatal car crash}, and Betty's voice was provided by June Foray (better known as Rocky, the Flying Squirrel and Natasha Fatale on "Rocky and Bullwinkle").

Additionally, Henry Corden provided Fred's singing voice(good and bad) as early as the first season("Hot Lips Hannigan", {7 October 1960} and "The Girl's Night Out" {6 January 1961}, uncredidted, to be sure), because Alan Reed was tone-deaf.

How about guest vopices:

A guy named Jerry Mann is on my DVD nopw, as a motion pciture poruder, typivcally Tuetonic soundingh (MONSTER FROM THE TARPITS-Walked Edmiuston did a Hans Conreid impression as this guy in a second season one-THIS IS YOUR LIFESAVER)>There's also a Cary Grant imprtessionist named Bob Hoipkins in this.

Frank nelson, Howard Macnear, and among multiple voicers-Paul Frees and Sandra GOuld were in the firstr several seasons. I've got the DVD of the first and there is the second soon the third on DVD.

(Jerry mann did the Phil Slver-slike Dino.He's also heard doing the Ed Wynn voices for Hot Lips and for Mezmo!

Later, of course, Howard Morris, harvey Korman Janet Waldo and Al Melvin would be heard (as were the core cast)..

Alan Reed was tone deaf? Wow! I've always wondered why Henry Corden did the singing.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

That's interesting. But did Hal Smith provide his singing voice in the episode "The Twitch" {October 12, 1962} ?
