Merrie Virginia Eggers (née Erlandson; August 8, 1925 – July 13, 2012), known professionally as Ginny Tyler, was an American voice actress who performed on dozens of cartoons and animated films from 1957 to 1993.
[1][2] Tyler was born the elder of two children of Erland Alfred and Harriet (née Ruttenberg) Erlandson in 1925 in Berkeley, California, United States.
[4] Tyler grew up in Seattle and her family had a rich legacy of storytelling and imitation of animal sounds, which proved very useful to her later on in her career as an artist.
Tyler began to work more and more offscreen as a voice artist, appearing in several cartoons and narrating vinyl recordings of Disney films like Bambi and Babes in Toyland.
Since 1963, inside Disneyland, she can be heard voicing Pele and Tangaroa-Ru during the outside pre-show for Walt's Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.
