Sherri Stoner
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sherri Stoner is an American actress and writer. She was born 16 July 1965, Santa Monica, California, USA.
She has worked extensively in animation. She was a writer and producer for such 1990s animated shows as Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. She is probably best known for Animaniacs, for which she voiced Slappy Squirrel, a grumpy retired cartoon character.
She also cowrote the 1995 film version of Casper with Deanna Oliver and was on the writing staff for the 1996 revival of an animated Casper the Friendly Ghost, also known of The Spooktacular New Adventures of Casper.
Stoner served as the body model for Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid and for Belle in Beauty and the Beast. Ariel frequently bites her lower lip, and Belle often brushes hair away from her face. Both of these are Stoner's mannerisms that animators adapted for the characters.
Her live-action television work includes a recurring role as Rachel Brown Oleson in Little House on the Prairie, and appearances in Murder, She Wrote and Knots Landing.
