This just in.
Philece Sampler, another actress in the world of animation, has died on July 1st, 2021, one week shy of her birthday. She was 67 years old.
Although started off in TV shows, such as Day of Our Lives and in an episode of the live action Incredible Hulk TV show entitled "Dark Side", Sampler, like most voice actors, shine in animation. She did most of her voice work in English dubs in anime, such as Vandread, the Gundam series, Rurouni Kenshin, Dinozaurs, and so forth. But, she is mostly best known for her voice work in the English dub of Digimon, as both Mimi Tachikawa and Cody Hida. She also did the voice of a very old Toph Beifong in the Avatar sequel show, The Legend of Korra.
Sampler died of a heart attack.
Once again, another piece of a childhood gone too soon. And on a personal note, another voice actor being ignored by the media and all news outlets. Poor Mimi.
Anyway, to Ms. Sampler, you were always fun to watch, especially being Mimi and palling around with Palmon and the other Digi-Destined. Godspeed.
