Bernice Hansen

Actor · 1897 – 1981 · Los Angeles, California, USA

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Berneice Edna Hansell (July 11, 1897 – April 16, 1981), known as Bernice Hansen, provided the voice for female and young characters in the mid to late 1930s for various cartoon studios, most notably Warner Bros., where she played Little Kitty in I Haven't Got a Hat (1935). Because of a lack of on-screen voice credits on cartoons throughout the 1930s, identifying many actors has been a challenge to historians, resulting in incorrect guesses, especially with many female voices portraying young animals that sound very similar. Hansell has, for example, been incorrectly identified as providing the voice of Sniffles.
