| Kids Made Fun Of Cheryl Hudock's Voice Growing Up[1] |
|---|
When Cheryl Chase was a youngster growing up in Manville, kids used to make fun of her quirky voice. "Stop talking like a baby," they'd say, laughing at her.
Chase has had the last laugh, she's the voice of Angelica Pickles, the 3-year-old "demon diva" on the hit Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats. Her loudest laugh will come Friday when the Paramount feature film The Rugrats Movie is released nationwide.
"One of the guys that used to make fun of me, ironically lives next door to my mom and is a very good neighbor," says Cheryl Chase, who moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in 1985.
"His kids are major fans of the show."
Softer and sweeter than the shrill, bratty Angelica, Chase's speaking voice still sounds like a little girl. She was nothing like her "evil twin" while growing up, her mother Stella Hudock says. "She was a sweet, quiet young lady," says Stella Hudock about her only child.
"But when she did the character, it just came naturally for her. I'm very proud of her. I visited the studio and watched them tape the show. It's a lot of hard work."
Chase credits her actress mother and musician father, the late Emil Hudock, for being so supportive of her career.
She says she still feels a close connection to her dad, who passed away in September, just two months before the star-studded Hollywood premiere of The Rugrats Movie last week.
