Early Life
June Foray was born in Springfield, Massachusetts, one of three children of father Maurice and mother Ida. The family resided at 75 Orange Street, in that town. Her voice was first broadcast in a local radio drama when she was 12 years old; by age 15, she was doing regular radio voice work. Two years later, after graduating from Classical High School, she moved with her parents and siblings to Los Angeles, California, near Ida's brother, after engineer Maurice fell on hard financial times. After entering radio through the WBZA Players and her own Lady Make Believe show, she soon became a popular voice actress, with regular appearances on coast-to-coast network shows including Lux Radio Theater and The Jimmy Durante Show.

But they are gone to early death, who late in school
Distinguished the belt feed lever from the belt holding pawl.”
