Kathryn Beaumont (born June 27, 1938) is an English born voice actress/school teacher. She is best known for playing the voice of both Alice, in Disney's Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Disney's Peter Pan. Walt Disney personally cast Beaumont after seeing the film On an Island with You, in which child actress Beaumont had a small role.
In addition to playing the voice of Alice and Wendy, Kathryn served as a live-action model for the animators. After Peter Pan, Kathryn went to college, where she earned a teaching credential. She also did the narration as Alice in the Disneyland attraction of the same name. Kathryn continues to use her voice in the animated television series Disney's House of Mouse as well as other specials and video games where either Alice's or Wendy's voice is required, such as the game Kingdom Hearts. She was given the honour of being named a Disney Legend in 1998.
