DANA HILL – DIABETES

National Lampoon’s European Vacation. Another notable credit to her name is her work on Tom and Jerry: The Movie, where she did Jerry’s voice. Since childhood, Hill was already diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Hill was an athlete, placing third nationwide in the 880-yard run at the time. Despite her active lifestyle, she found out about her condition when she was only ten years old after she collapsed on a track.

Her condition ultimately got the best of her when she was 32 years of age. Unknown to most of us, she became a vital part of our childhood. Over the course of her career, Hill voiced many cartoon characters on shows we grew up with and have grown to love, including Disney shows such as Goof Troop, where the artist portrayed Max Goof. She was also a supporting character in the Nickelodeon series Rugrats.
