Laverne Harding
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laverne Harding (also LaVerne Harding or Verne Harding, October 10, 1905 - September 25, 1984) was an American animator. Harding, who worked for the Walter Lantz studio for much of her half-century career in animation, is among the first and earliest woman animators. [1]
Working for the Lantz studio from 1934 until 1960, [1] Harding was particularly noted for her work on Woody Woodpecker cartoons; she designed the version of the character that was in use from 1950 to 1999. She later worked for DePatie-Freleng Enterprises on Pink Panther cartoons, and was briefly employed at Warner Bros. as well. [1]
Harding was a native of the state of Louisiana.
