Pat Welsh (actress)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pat Welsh (Birth name: Patricia A. Carroll February 11, 1915, San Francisco, California - d. January 26, 1995 in Green Valley, California.) was an movie actress who appeared only in three movies, most famously as the voice of E.T. in E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. When Wlesh was in a camera store, Ben Burtt, the voice designer of the character E.T., heard her talking and asked to audition for the E.T. character. The reason for her raspy voice is that she has been a chain smoker, and giving E.T.'s tradenark speech sound. Welsh died in 1995 from pneumonia.
