RIP LOUISE ERICKSON...Radio character actress

Erickson began performing on radio at age 6, acting in broadcasts of fairy tales. She also appeared in Drama of Youth and was Emmy Lou on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet. As an actress, she was most active on radio series. Erickson is best known for starring in the 1940s radio teenage sitcom A Date with Judy in the title role, and for the role of Marjorie in The Great Gildersleeve [photo]. She also played the girl friend, Mildred, in Meet Corliss Archer, another teenage situation comedy. She was the third actress to play bobby soxer Judy on the long running radio series that debuted in 1941. Erickson had joined the cast in 1942 as Mitzi, Judy's friend. The following year, she took over the title character from Ann Gillis and would remain in the role for the rest of the series run, which ended in 1950.

Janet Marie Waldo (February 4, 1920 – June 12, 2016) was an American radio, television, animation and live-action film actress.

Janet Waldo was an American radio, television, animation and live-action film actress. She is best known in animation for voicing Judy Jetson, Nancy in Shazzan, Penelope Pitstop, and Josie in Josie and the Pussycats, and on radio for Meet Corliss Archer. She died June 12, 2016, aged 96. Her big break came in radio with a part on Cecil B. DeMille's Lux Radio Theater. In her radio career, she lent her voice to many programs, including Edward G. Robinson's Big Town, The Eddie Bracken Show, Favorite Story, Four Star Playhouse, The Gallant Heart, One Man's Family, Sears Radio Theater and Stars over Hollywood. She co-starred with Jimmy Lydon in the CBS situation comedy Young Love (1949–50), and she had recurring roles on The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (as teenager Emmy Lou), The Red Skelton Show and People Are Funny. However, it was her eight-year run starring as teenager Corliss Archer on CBS's Meet Corliss Archer that left a lasting impression, even though Shirley Temple starred in the film adaptations, Kiss and Tell and A Kiss for Corliss. The radio program was the CBS answer to NBC's popular A Date with Judy. Despite the long run of Meet Corliss Archer, less than 24 episodes are known to exist. Waldo later turned down the offer to portray Corliss in a television adaptation. In 1948, the Meet Corliss Archer comic book, using Waldo's likeness, published by Fox Feature Syndicate, appeared for a run of three issues from March to July 1948, using the original scripts. The same year, Waldo married playwright Robert Edwin Lee, the writing partner of Jerome Lawrence. The couple had two children, and remained married until his death in 1994. WIKIPEDIA
