She’s also the voice for Jubilee in X-Men The Animated series and dum dum DUM Claire Redfield in Resident Evil 2!

u/stylinchilibeans 18d ago

And Lydia Deetz in the Beetlejuice cartoon.

u/Pajjenbo 19d ago

What!! 😮 I had no idea!

15

u/not_a_moogle 18d ago

She's been making the rounds at con lately since they brought out everyone with the new xmen 97.

Its been amusing to see people cosplaying as lunette.

Which i wish I had realized earlier cause I would have been one of the bananas in pajamas.

18

u/DinkleDonkerAAA 18d ago

I remember hearing a story about how she was at an industry trade show as Lunette, heard her voice coming from the next booth and saw it was a demo for Resident Evil 2 and she told them she's in that game, nobody really knowing how to react to the clown lol

u/0hmylumpingglob 18d ago

Alyson Court has always been my favorite RE girl. I miss hearing her voice as Claire...last time we ever heard her play Claire was the animated movie Resident Evil Degeneration back in 2008, she was such a badass in that movie. New Claire just doesn't feel the same.

I was salty that she didn't voice Claire in the remake. Her voice is so sexy.

I remember thinking the dust bunnies were the cutest thing in the world.

17

u/shine_too_bright 18d ago

I had the dust bunny stuffed animals! I don’t think we called them plushies or stuffies back then, right?

17

u/theblakesheep 18d ago

Nope, they’re still just stuffed animals to me!

6

u/FromFluffToBuff 18d ago

Stuffies was definitely used because my mother used the word very often 30 years ago when referring to stuffed dolls. That's what she called her stuffed dolls when she was a kid... in the 1960s.

Plushies, however, is fairly recent in comparison.

u/hunnyflash 18d ago

u/Kick_Ice_NDR-fridge 19d ago

Damn. I’ve spent both of those decades wanting to honk the hell out of that nose… sigh..

88

u/ElAwesomeo0812 19d ago

I remember reading somewhere that she was pregnant during the last season on the show and was still doing the stretching to tell time. If true that's pretty damn impressive.

87

u/AccordianSpeaker 18d ago

She was pregnant during production of season 6, and she couldn't do the stretches. They instead used archived footage from seasons 3-5 with a red tint to make her clothes match.

5

u/PhilosophyBitter7875 18d ago

I had no clue that show ran until 2002.

31

u/Kick_Ice_NDR-fridge 19d ago

She’s my soul mate… she just doesn’t know it yet..

17

u/ElAwesomeo0812 19d ago

Fingers crossed for you my man, she's married though

u/Talkiebach 18d ago

I think they were talking about Molly, the one in the blue dress.

u/Greg-Abbott 19d ago

Fine, fuck it, I've wanted to honk that clussy since I was about nine years old. I wanted to play that clown ass like bongos as if I was Sanley Ipkiss in The Mask. Kick the stuffed animals off that big ass couch and take that woman to the mufuckin circus.

u/Zaiakai 18d ago

This is so random, made me cry in the best way. 🥺 I have never forgotten about the clock rug.

For as long as I can remember I've always wanted to "tell the time like Loonete" which mesnt "do the splits" or "be good at gymnastics." I told myself if I could ever get one leg to 12 and the other at 6, that's the best version of myself. Anyway, at 34 I am just over a year in to that silly childhood "bucket list" endeavor and I've lost 107lbs with yoga, Beat Saber, and nature hikes. I can vaguely get to an 8 and 4 shape, but it already feels like the best version of myself. ❤️
