Biography

Waldo est né à Yakima (Washington). Sa mère, Jane Althea Blodgett, était une chanteuse formée au Conservatoire de Boston et son père, Benjamin Franklin Waldo était un lointain cousin du poète américain Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Waldo, étudiante en théâtre à l'université de Washington, remporte un prix spécial lors de sa première année. Un ancien élève Bing Crosby, en visite à l'époque, lui remet le prix. Celui-ci l'invite à le suivre en Californie et lui propose de signer pour un test à l'écran pour la comédie The Star Maker. Cette rencontre marqua le début de sa carrière.



Carrière
Elle obtient de petits rôles dans les films avec Crosby tels que Les bébés turbulents de Wesley Ruggles en 1938 et The Star Maker de Roy Del Ruth, Paris Honeymoon de Frank Tuttle en 1939, If I Had My Way de David Butler et Rhythm on the River de Victor Schertzinger mais c'est à la radio qu'elle connaîtra ses plus grands succès. Elle intervient dans l’émission radiophonique, très populaire aux États-Unis à partir des années 30, Lux Radio Theatre , alors produite par Cecil B. DeMille, en collaboration avec Merle Oberon et George Brent.

Toujours à la radio, Waldo interprète une série d'histoire pour adolescent Meet Corliss Archer sur la vie d'une jeune fille, Corliss Archer. Cette série connait un grand succès et sera, par la suite adaptée pour la télévision.


Aux États-Unis, la grande popularité de l'actrice tient au fait qu'elle a prêté sa voix à de nombreux personnages de dessins animés à succès comme Josie et les Pussycats, Sophie la sorcière, Les Pierrafeu, La famille Adams.
