It is an honor and privilege to host the original Princess of Power, Melendy Britt to the 2024 lineup at the Washington State Summer Con in Puyallup from June 21st through the 23rd. She is an icon in the animation and voice-over world highlighted by her portrayal of She-Ra in the 80s.
Melendy Britt is an actress whose career has covered the gamut of acting from her beginning in theatre to television, film, and voice-over. She began acting in theatre, films such as the iconic Hal Ashby film Being There with Peter Sellers, and television, appearing and guest starring in over 40 shows such as Cheers, Taxi, and Gilmore Girls, while doing voice-over and on-camera commercials for clients and products such as L’Oreal, NBC, ABC, CBS, and ultimately doing what she found to be truly rewarding aside from raising her family—animation.
