Pat Welsh (February 11, 1915 – January 26, 1995) was an American film actress, known as the voice of E.T. in the 1982 film E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.
[edit] Career
Welsh only appeared in three films, most famously as the voice of E.T. in the 1982 film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. When Welsh was in a camera store, Ben Burtt, the sound designer of the film's character E.T., heard her talking and asked her to audition for the role. As a chain smoker, she had a raspy voice that gave E.T. its trademark speech sound. She also had been hired by George Lucas to be the voice of Boushh in Star wars Return of The Jedi. Lucas had said he was in the laundromat when he thought her ambiguous voice was perfect.[citation needed]
