Cindy Bear

Cindy Bear is a cartoon character created by Hanna-Barbera. She was originally voiced by Julie Bennett, who reprised the part for most of her appearances from the 1960s through the 1980s.

History

Cindy Bear is the love-interest of Yogi Bear and resident of Jellystone Park. She speaks with a pronounced Southern accent, and carries a parasol.

Cindy Bear originally appeared in the 1961 television series The Yogi Bear Show in the segments Acrobatty Bear, A Wooin' Bruin and the three-parter Yogi's Birthday Party. Her original character design featured blue fur, a hat, a necklace and lipstick.

Cindy appeared prominantly in the 1964 feature film Hey There, It's Yogi Bear! in which she is kidnapped, spurring Yogi and Boo-Boo to come to her rescue. Her character design was reworked for the film into the familiar version with light brown fur and a yellow scarf, losing the hat, necklace and lipstick.
