RADIO SCRIPTS - HOT COPY

Hot Copy recounts the adventures of Ann Rogers, girl reporter, who uncovers and solves crimes with the help of her friends.

Betty Lou Gerson, who had a very distinctive voice, played the role of Ann Rogers. She appeared in a few movies in the 1950s, and later in a variety of television shows. Her voice caught the attention of Disney Studios, which used her as the “Narrator” in Cinderella and later as “Cruella de Vil” in the popular animated feature, 101 Dalmatians. She died at the age of 84 in 1999.
