Audies Salutes The Best in Audiobooks for 2009
The 14th Annual Audies, sponsored by the Audio Publishers Association, were hosted at the fabulous New-York Historical Society situated at 170 Central Park West, where the voices were just as sensational and decadent as the surroundings they were placed in.

Mickey Mouse Voice Caretaker, Wayne Allwine, Gone at 62
Wayne Allwine, the most recent voice of Mickey Mouse, passed away on May 18, 2009 due to complications from diabetes at the age of 62. He and his wife Russi Taylor, the current voice of Minnie Mouse, met in studio over 20 years ago and were inseparable.
Although the two made quite a pair voicing the Disney icons (named as Disney Legends in 2008), they never lost sight of the fact that they were merely the stewards of a legacy, entrusted with taking care of Mickey and Minnie, humbly doing their work in the service of others to keep Walt Disney’s dream, and the spirit of the characters, alive.
Allwine was the voice of Mickey Mouse for 32 years, and enjoyed working on all kinds of projects with the voice cast, including the “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse“.
