Mitzi J. Brill[2] (née Steiner)[2] (September 9, 1932 [2] - August 8, 2024) was a comedian, actress and a voice actress for Regular Show.[2][3]
Early life and career[]
Mitzi J. Steiner was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania to a Jewish family.[2][4] She began her career in show business in 1948 when she was 16.[5] In 1964, she and Brill, who are a husband-and-wife comedy team, were booked to be on the Ed Sullivan Show, the same night The Beatles were on.[6] Ed Sullivan asked the duo to change their act to accompany the crowd of largely teenagers, and the result was a mostly silent crowd.[7] McCall recalls: "It [the show] was a nightmare. We [she and Brill] just about wanted to kill ourselves.”[7] However, many years later, McCall claimed it was an honor: “We [she and Brill] were there when the world changed.”[8]
McCall has acted on Laugh In and has more recently transitioned to a voiceover career, providing the voices of Mother Goose on Mother Goose and Grimm and Glypto in the film Ice Age.[2][3] On Regular Show, she provided the voice of the Warden of the Internet, named the Librarian in the credits.[3] Her voice acting agency is Cunningham, Escott, Slevin & Doherty (CESD).[9]
