Actress Russi Taylor, who was the voice of Minnie Mouse for more than three decades, has died at the age of 75.
Taylor died on Friday in California, according to Walt Disney chairman Bob Iger. He did not reveal the cause of her death.
Originally from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Taylor had landed the role in 1986, beating more than 200 other hopefuls.
She went on to voice the famous female mouse in Disney films, television programmes and theme parks, including the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and the TV show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
In 1991, she also married Wayne Allwine, who voiced Mickey Mouse from 1977 until his death in 2009.
They were both named Disney Legends in 2008.
