Taylor's late husband, Wayne Allwine, was the voice behind Mickey Mouse starting in 1977 until his death in 2009. According to Disney, Taylor said she wanted "whoever comes after us to be aware of the history and the tradition and to love the characters as much as we do."

Taylor was born in 1944 in Cambridge, Massachusetts. According to Disney, she was a young girl when she walked up to Walt Disney and told him she wanted to work for him one day.

Taylor beat out over 200 hopefuls in her 1986 audition for Minnie Mouse, the company said said.

Taylor also served as the voice of Pebbles Flintstone and Martin Prince and twins Sherri and Terri on "The Simpsons" and "The Simpsons Movie." She also lent her voice to "Ducktails," "The Smurfs," "Muppet Babies," "The Critic" and others.
