Heather North, Voice of Scooby-Doo"s Daphne, Dies at 71
Heather North, the veteran voice of the beloved cartoon character Daphne Blake on TV’s Scooby-Doo, died at her home in California late last month, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
She was 71 years old.
Close friend Jodie Mann has confirmed the unfortunate news to the publication, saying North passed away on November 30 after a long battle with a serious illness.
North’s passing comes nearly three years after she lost her husband, H. Wesley Kenney.
An Emmy Award-winning producer and director of soap operas, he was behind the camera for every episode of the memorable 1974-75 season of All in the Family.
The actress met Kenney on the set of Days of Our Lives, on which she portrayed Sandy Horton for multiple years, and married him in 1971.
She was a native of Pasadena whose biggest movie credit was likely as Kurt Russell’s love interest in 1971’s The Barefoot Executive.
But she’ll almost definitely be most remembered as the voice of Daphne, a role she took on with the second season of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!.
One of the two female members of the teenage investigate team, Daphne was a critical part of this beloved series.
North inhibited the role on and off over the next 30-plus years, with her final credit listed as 2003’s Scooby-Doo! and the Monster of Mexico.
The popular actress also appeared on such television programs as Mr. Novak, Gidget; The Fugitive; The Monkees; My Three Sons; and Adam-12.
On the big screen, meanwhile, she played parts in Git! (1965) and I Love My Wife (1970); and on Broadway in the short-lived 1967 comedy The Girl in the Freudian Slip.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a memorial service is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday at First Christian Church in Studio City.
The publication also writes that her survivors include:
- Son Kevin and daughter-in-law Stephanie.
- Stepdaughter Nina and her husband Brent.
- Stepson Wes and his wife Leslie.
- Granddaughter Jocelyn.
Another stepdaughter, Kara, sadly died just a week ago.
We send our condolences to her family members, friends and loved ones.
May Heather North rest in peace.

Jason Derulo: DUMPED By Daphne Joy?!
Well, that didn’t take long.
Less than a year after the world learned that Jason Derulo and Daphne Joy were hooking up, TMZ is reporting that the couple has officially called it quits.
Derulo is best known for such hit singles as “Talk Dirty” and “Wiggle,” while Joy is probably most famous for being one of 50 Cent’s baby mamas.
It seems Jason received a bit of karmic payback for dumping Jordin Sparks over the phone back in 2014, as sources say Daphne cut him loose without warning.
We’re sure he’ll do fine, but hopefully Sparks fans are enjoying the fact that Derulo was taken down a peg.
Reps for the couple say the split was amicable, Jason and Daphne are still friends, and other such nonsense.
Some fans claim Jason and Daphne were never even serious, and were in more a “friends with benefits” situation, with one of those benefits being free publicity.
Despite his string of hits, Jason falls just short of mainstream A-lister status, and Daphne is a relative unknown.
But as a couple, they were bigger than the sum of their parts.
Pics of Jason and Daphne frolicking on the beach often went viral for fairly obvious reasons:
So yeah, they were using each other for more than PR, but Daphne’s social media following skyrocketed during her time with Derulo.
We’re sure he enjoyed their time together in his own way, too.
Here’s wishing these two all the best.
We’re sure Jason is recovering with melancholy 18-some as we speak.
