Hong Kong Phooey - Meet Rosemary The Telephone Operator

Kathy Gori is a prolific voice over actor who has played some of the classic cartoon characters of all time but her most famous creation was Rosemary the Telephone Operator in the hit 1970s series Hong Kong Phooey. Started in 1974, it only ran for a short time but was repeated over and over again and became a staple diet for kids throughout the 70s and 80s. Produced by Hanna Barbara it centred around the mild mannered janitor. Here Kathy tells MIM's Ashley Byrne how she found herself playing a cop in love with a dog in kimono.
