As someone who never got into GI Joe, I went to see what else I might recognize her from. And outside that one character, it was just the bad Spiderman cartoon from the 80s that nobody remembers where she was Aunt May/Black Cat and then basically a lot of bit work in the 80s before a complete desert after the 90s started. Must have made a lot of money off that one role or went into different work.
Its a tragedy regardless because I assume her complete dominance in the role was for a reason and probably a good part of a lot of childhoods.
After resuming college in 1989 to finish her bachelor’s degree and then getting a master’s degree in history from Cal State History, Lofting became a librarian and started “bartending with books.”
She also had a son. So connecting some dots, she was a stay-at-home mom who took up voice acting at the age of 39, followed by a variety of other activities, as a hobby after her child left home.
All solid choices for a woman to make. Honestly VA work as a sidegig for SAHMs should be more common, but its an industry filled with bitter Leftie women who'd never allow that.
Just imagine having (relatively) well-adjusted mothers enter voice acting as a sidegig once their kids are old enough to go to school. You can hear the career women's ovaries shrivel up.
