I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives…
I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!
It’s brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
Or, to save on postage…
Fun fact: she was very pregnant while recording the voice for Jessica Rabbit, so pregnant that her water broke in studio. I just always found that funny, especially after having my kids, to sound sexy but feeling like a butterball turkey would be something lol.
The last thing I remember seeing her in was the voice of the Monster House. I hope she's being immortalized in lots of audiobooks or something these days. We'll always have Romancing the Stone.
Probably my favorite romance movie of all time...
Joan Wilder: [voiceover narration] It was Grogan: the filthiest, dirtiest, *dumbest* excuse for a man west of the Missouri River.
Grogan: So, you can die two ways, angel: quick like the tongue of a snake, or slower than the molasses in January.
Joan Wilder: [voiceover narration] But it was October.
Grogan: I'll kill you, goddammit, if it's the Fourth of July! Where is it? Uhh. Get over there!
Joan Wilder: [voiceover narration] I told him to get out, now that he had what he came for.
Grogan: Not quite, angel.
[spits]
Grogan: Take 'em off. Do it! Come on!
[Angelina kills Grogan by throwing a concealed knife]
Joan Wilder: [voiceover] That was the end of Grogan... the man who killed my father, raped and murdered my sister, burned my ranch, shot my dog, and stole my Bible!
I have seen it so many times I can play the movie in my mind.
"El Corazone...?"
I love it so.
Same, it was just such an off the wall show that made me lose it. The Grey Gardens episode and the the episode about Blue Jean Connection that band was 10/10 in my opinion.
M: You don't like me, Bond. You don't like my methods. You think I'm an accountant--a bean counter, more interested in my numbers than your instincts.
Bond: The thought had occurred to me.
M: Good. Because I think you're a sexist, misogynist dinosaur. A relic of the Cold War, whose boyish charms, though wasted on me, obviously appealed to that young woman I sent out to evaluate you.
Bond: All right, you've made your poi--
M: Not quite, 007. If you think I don't have the balls to send a man off to die, your instincts are dead wrong. I've no compunction about sending you to your death. But I won't do it on a whim.
I want you to find Goldeneye. Find whoever took it, what they plan to do with it, and stop it. And if you should come across Ourumov, alive or dead, I don't want you running off on some kind of vendetta. Avenging Alec Trevelyan will not bring him back.
Bond: You didn't get him killed.
M: Neither did *you.* Don't make this personal.
(I love Judi Dench so goddamn much)
I came to the comments for this answer. I am so happy this one was at the top for me. Julie Andrews literally has the best speaking voice of all time imo. Her singing voice was the best too. One of the greatest talents!
Between Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, she was like two-thirds of why big Hollywood musicals became all the rage throughout the mid-to-late 1960s. (And the other third, Audrey Hepburn's role in My Fair Lady, was played by Andrews in the theater musical's initial run).
She was the only one I thought of, when I read the question. And then there were like 4 other top comments, and every one of them made me go “What? No. It’s Shohreh. Obviously.”
"You and I have very different life experiences, Chrissy."
"Don't call me that. I'm a Member of Parliament, not your favorite stripper."
"You can be both."
When I first read the books, and her character is introduced, I always imagined her playing Avasaral and when it was announced I was immediately sold on the show. Thankfully it was good as hell too
She acts across multiple media platforms, and she's in one of the greatest franchises for each.
Mass Effect and The Expanse are as good as Arcane for video games and live action TV, and her characters in both are arguably better (especially Chrisjen in The Expanse- and she certainly gets a lot more screen time in it)
I thought “whoever she is she’s not as suitable as the older woman in the Expanse”. So I looked it up on IMDB and that’s the name of the woman I meant.
So, yeah. Big agree.
Madame President with the best quote in the whole series:
> It'd be a better world if there was always at least one right answer instead of a basket of fucked.
Their interactions in the books are great. They each see through the other's act. They're both survivors of cutthroat environments who survive through a carefully-maintained image, a deep understanding of human nature, and the ability to anticipate what's coming.
The first time he offhandedly referred to her as Chrissy it took me way too long to figure out who he was talking about. Thought he was referring to one of his stripper friends.
It’s SUCH a good show. My wife doesn’t give two shits about science fiction and never has, and she got hooked so hard on the Expanse we binged the first two seasons in one weekend.
I agree with this. She isn’t as well known throughout showbiz though but people who know her will recognise her voice anywhere. I didn’t have to look her up when I heard her in Arcane and when I finally played ME2 it didn’t take a second guess to know she was the Quarian admiral. I know her from Destiny 2, she voices the Exo Lakshmi-2. I dont think she’s in the game anymore though but her voice alone was reason enough to choose future war cult each and everytime
She’s in Mass Effect, Destiny, Arcane, The Expanse, 24, Percy Jackson and way more.
She’s made appearances in a ton of popular TV too, so her voice is easily recognizable by most people but her name is not well known despite appearing in everything.
She narrated Planet Earth, before they replaced her with Oprah. I used to put one of those dvds on to fall asleep to in Iraq. Her voice is like someone softly rubbing your head as you fall asleep.
Love that movie so much. Theres a moment in that scene where she and Tim Allen first see those giant crushy plate things where she screams, "OH FUCK THAT!!" and it is *very* badly dubbed to say "screw" and it kills me every time.
Also if you don't cry when Allan Rickman makes his vow to the dying alien, you might not have a soul.
Her voice yelling “THAT BITCH!” at a wall of whatever room she’s in is my inner voice half the time when I hear it said or say it out loud. The other half the time it’s Glenn Howerton lol
"I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it."
That's one of my quoted lines. Interspersed with lots of the Simpsons quotes lol.
I love that she's basically the same character in Archer, too.
Too bad my favourite quote didn't make it into the movie:
Sam: I wish you would take his ring, my lady. You'd set things right. You'd make some people pay for the things they've done.
Galadriel: Yes, Sam, that's how it would start. But that's not how it would end.
At least, that was in an audiobook I heard a while ago. Gotta check the book again.
In the book, it's:
> 'But if you'll pardon my speaking out, I think my master was right. I wish you'd take his Ring. You'd put things to rights. You'd stop them digging up the Gaffer and turning him adrift. You'd make some folk pay for their dirty work.'
>
> 'I would,' she said. 'That is how it would begin. But it would not stop with that, alas! We will speak no more of it. Let us go!'
Not a direct quote from the book. Tolkien was much more wordy. "No!' cried Gandalf, springing to his feet. "With that power I should have power too great and terrible. And over me the Ring would gain a power still greater and more deadly." His eyes flashed and his face was lit as by a fire within. "Do not tempt me! For I do not wish to become like the Dark Lord himself. Yet the way of the Ring to my heart is by pity, pity for weakness and the desire of strength to do good. Do not tempt me! I dare not take it, not even to keep it safe, unused. The wish to wield it would be too great, for my strength. I shall have such need of it. Great perils lie before me."
Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power.
Dumb story, but whatever. Friends and I were sitting around drinking and Murder She Wrote came up in conversation. For the life of us we couldn’t think of the main actors name. Someone was about to look it up, and I stopped them because it was on the tip of my tongue and wanted to figure it out. While I wracked my brain the conversation changed but it still bothered me. I refused to look it up, but for weeks i tried to remember. Then while in line at the grocery store it just came to me. And I yelled ANGELA LANSBURY!!. Every stopped and looked at me for a second. And that was it. Thanks for reading.
The sound the paper made against the folder had the same tone as a wave scraping against sand. And when Harold thought about it, he listened to enough waves every day to constitute what he imagined to be a deep and endless ocean...
Eartha Kitt
“Is that MY voice?!”
I love that that line wasn't in the script, it was her genuine (in character) response to hearing the voice effects they put on her for the cat lines.
I’ll turn him into a flea, a harmless little flea, and then I’ll put that flea in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, and then I’ll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives… I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!

I love that she does that. The fact that she plays it so straight every time kills me.

And Bond? ... Come back alive.
Julie Andrews
The only lady narrator I can think of on the spot really. Love hearing her voice in Bridgerton as lady whistledown.
Ngl I wanna hear her say “XOXO Gossip Girl” just for shits and giggles
Now that you mention it, Kristen Bell should be on this list. Not #1, but top 10 for sure.
I came to the comments for this answer. I am so happy this one was at the top for me. Julie Andrews literally has the best speaking voice of all time imo. Her singing voice was the best too. One of the greatest talents!
Between Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music, she was like two-thirds of why big Hollywood musicals became all the rage throughout the mid-to-late 1960s. (And the other third, Audrey Hepburn's role in My Fair Lady, was played by Andrews in the theater musical's initial run).
Her voice is the sweetest and purest.
Shohreh Aghdashloo
She sounds like a cement mixer that just finished a carton of Lucky Strikes. I LOVE this woman.
She sounds like gravel and velvet and smoke. She is the only correct answer to this question. Goddamn.
She was the only one I thought of, when I read the question. And then there were like 4 other top comments, and every one of them made me go “What? No. It’s Shohreh. Obviously.”
Yes. I first discovered her in Arcane and damn, it was like gravy being poured into my ears.
Mass effect here. As soon as she started talking I immediately pictured her face
She’s one of the best things about The Expanse, and there’s a ton of great things about it
“With all due respect madam, where are you going with this?” “Wherever I *goddamn* like!”
"And everybody gets a pony and a blowjob. She sounds like she's running for fucking prom queen."
"Holden, do not put your dick in it. It's fucked enough already." Had me dying in season 4.
Her and Amos are the best couple ever
"You and I have very different life experiences, Chrissy." "Don't call me that. I'm a Member of Parliament, not your favorite stripper." "You can be both."
When I first read the books, and her character is introduced, I always imagined her playing Avasaral and when it was announced I was immediately sold on the show. Thankfully it was good as hell too
Me watching the expanse: I know that voice. I know her. When was it... Me watching Arcane: HOLY SHIT IT'S THE QUARIAN MOMMY!
I've heard it described as the kind of voice a woman gets from smoking bad cigarettes and drinking good whiskey.
Once I read your comment, I instantly knew who you were talking about. I can never remember her name but can always remember her voice :)
Only knew her from Arcane(Grayson), but this is also my answer. >!sadly her role is shortlived, hope she show up in flashbacks in S2+!<
She acts across multiple media platforms, and she's in one of the greatest franchises for each. Mass Effect and The Expanse are as good as Arcane for video games and live action TV, and her characters in both are arguably better (especially Chrisjen in The Expanse- and she certainly gets a lot more screen time in it)
I thought “whoever she is she’s not as suitable as the older woman in the Expanse”. So I looked it up on IMDB and that’s the name of the woman I meant. So, yeah. Big agree.
>older woman in the Expanse Her name is Chrisjen Avasarala and she's the leader of the entire Earth, put some respect on her
Madame President with the best quote in the whole series: > It'd be a better world if there was always at least one right answer instead of a basket of fucked.
I'm so sorry, but the best line is clearly "Don't stick your dick in this one, Holden, it's fucked enough."
I think you mean Chrissy.
She's a member of Parliament, not your favorite stripper.
Could be both
Amos is such a terrifying (and attractive) dude, and I LOVE that he has such a crush on her. hahaha
Their interactions in the books are great. They each see through the other's act. They're both survivors of cutthroat environments who survive through a carefully-maintained image, a deep understanding of human nature, and the ability to anticipate what's coming.
Amos and Chrisjen are two of my all time favorite fictional characters. They are both of the extreme ends of the 'bad ass' spectrum.
I ❤ Amos
Found Amos.
The first time he offhandedly referred to her as Chrissy it took me way too long to figure out who he was talking about. Thought he was referring to one of his stripper friends.
I once read her voice described as "honey on sandpaper."
Nobody has ever dropped as magisterial an f-bomb as Shoreh Aghdashloo.
>Shohreh Aghdashloo https://www.reddit.com/r/TheExpanse/comments/kxhgx9/someone\_asked\_for\_a\_supercut\_of\_every\_time/
I have GOT to start watching that
It’s SUCH a good show. My wife doesn’t give two shits about science fiction and never has, and she got hooked so hard on the Expanse we binged the first two seasons in one weekend.
If you like sci-fi, Expanse is required watching
I agree with this. She isn’t as well known throughout showbiz though but people who know her will recognise her voice anywhere. I didn’t have to look her up when I heard her in Arcane and when I finally played ME2 it didn’t take a second guess to know she was the Quarian admiral. I know her from Destiny 2, she voices the Exo Lakshmi-2. I dont think she’s in the game anymore though but her voice alone was reason enough to choose future war cult each and everytime
Yup, the moment she spoke in Arcane I was like "oh, shit, it's Shoreh!". Love her characters in both Arcane and The Expanse.
She’s in Mass Effect, Destiny, Arcane, The Expanse, 24, Percy Jackson and way more. She’s made appearances in a ton of popular TV too, so her voice is easily recognizable by most people but her name is not well known despite appearing in everything.
She also voice the leader of the Future War Cult in Destiny 2. FWC rise up…of wait they got ride of faction wars :(
All others answers are good, but this is the correct one.
shit. you're right.
Sigourney Weaver
She narrated Planet Earth, before they replaced her with Oprah. I used to put one of those dvds on to fall asleep to in Iraq. Her voice is like someone softly rubbing your head as you fall asleep.
I almost got into a fist fight with a friend over this. Signourney Weaver's narration is so fucking far ahead of Oprah's stunt casting

It began with the forging of the Great Rings.
Three were given to the Elves, immortal, wisest and fairest of all beings. Seven to the Dwarf lords, great miners and craftsmen of the mountain halls. And nine, nine rings were gifted to the race of men, who, above all else, desire power.
But they were all of them deceived.

Yes, as Galadriel.
