cree summer flies under the radar but like jim jones, she sure does fly high.
perhaps you've seen her face. she was an integral part of the classic sitcom "a different world," a show about a historically black college that convinced us all to apply to hbcu's asap. she portrayed the bohemian black dippy hippie, freddie brooks, a character who fought passionately for the many causes she believed in. if you're not familiar with her face, i KNOW you know her famous voice. she used her unique pipes to provide for many of our beloved cartoon (and video game) characters since 1983. there are just too many on cree's resume to name, so i'll just share a few of my favorites she brought to life:
- miranda from as told by ginger
- elmyra from tiny toon adventures
- susie carmichael from rugrats & all grown up!
- tessa and vanessa from pepper ann
- penny from inspector gadget
like i said,this is just a drop in the bucket for summer. she is also a musical artist, even opening up for her friend, lenny kravitz.
cree summer is ridiculously impressive. no one can deny her success and longevity in this tough business.
