Shirley Silvery was an American animator, whose credits included Mr. Magoo, The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, Dudley Do-Right Show and George of the Jungle.[1] Silvey was considered a pioneer in animation, as she was one of the first women to work in the field.[1]
(1927/28 – July 17, 2010)
Silvey graduated from Jepson Art Institute in Los Angeles. She began her career at United Productions of America (UPA) during the late 1950s.[1] A friend had suggested that she approach cartoon director Ed Levitt for a job at UPA, since he was looking for beginning animators and was also an alumnae of Jepson Art Institute as well.[1] Levitt hired Silvey when he joined UPA, where she first worked in layout, storyboard and character design.[1] Her credits at UPA included Mister Magoo's Christmas Carol, Mister Magoo 1001 Arabian Nights and Gerald McBoing-Boing.[1]
Silvey moved to Jay Ward Productions in 1959.[1] She worked with Jay Ward on numerous animated cartoons, including The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, George of the Jungle, Fractured Fairy Tales, Dudley Do-Right and the Captain Crunch television commercials.[1] Silvey remained at Jay Ward Productions until 1973.[1] She also briefly worked on Bugs Bunny cartoons at Warner Bros.[1]
Shirley Silvey died of heart failure on July 17, 2010, in Fresno, California, at the age of 82.[1] She was survived by a daughter, two grandchildren and her brother, animator David Jonas.[1]
