Rankin/Bass Voice Actors: Recap

Ever wondered what the professional actors and celebrities who loaned their voices for our favorite Rankin/Bass animated specials looked like? Want to actually SEE them in live action Christmas programs?  Last January, I wrote a series of blog entries about the actors and actresses who shared their voice talents in the Rankin/Bass animated specials, and where you can see them in live action (that is, non-animated) Christmas entertainments. Today I've collected the links to those posts together in one place.  I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by some of these other Christmas episodes, specials and movies.
