Interview: Barbara Goodson & Karan Ashley, from Mighty Morphin Power Rangers | Creative Continuity

[@diplomat0343]

That's funny I actually said to myself yo I am attracted to one of the original yellow rangers.many years ago I hadn't realized it.too bad season 1 ranger couldn't make it.

[@natsohigh5552]

Season 1 Yellow Ranger is no longer alive. She died in 2001.

[@spook_taculizz]

I met Karan Ashley in person and she's very humble down to earth person 🙂😍

[@BestowTV]

She is super nice, isn't she! ❤️❤️❤️

[@denisheabates4344]

Barbara Goodson is amazing as Rita Repulsa she was having me cracking up laughing at her

[@BestowTV]

That's awesome!

[@tremaynesmith3921]

Karan Ashley can get this work

[@xiaochicash]

I love how the interviewer gave Barbara the chance to mention her other voice acting roles. :)

[@BestowTV]

We love to hear what other works the actors/actresses have done. Sometimes we uncover moments we were unaware of.

[@TBoneTony]

There is something about Karan Ashley that made me like her as the Yellow Ranger. She took up the mantle after Thuy Trang left and there were episodes during the Peace Conference auditions that there were moments where they would have stock footage of Thuy Trang and she would never talk until they found the stock audio from one of the previous episodes. So I felt that those episodes during season 2 of Power Rangers during the Peace Conference where it just felt really awkward to watch knowing what was happening behind the scenes back then retrospectively. But thankfully Karen Ashley while not as memorable as Thuy Trang, she did hold on her own as a really powerful Yellow Ranger. I also thought before she left at the end of season 3, there were some moments between Karen Ashley and David Yost that could have paired Aisha and Billy together. It's sad how Saban treated them back stage especially when David Yost came out as gay which caused the back stage bullying that resulted in him leaving the series from what was heard.

[@BestowTV]

Very well said.

[@pauljohnleadbeater5533]

Karan ashley keeps her own council and is always great at being herself, agree with your sentiments completely.

[@melissamurray8307]

Karan is one of my favorite yellow rangers.

[@BestowTV]

Awesome!

[@sodium285]

Awesome!! She's one of mine too. Her as Aisha's SO Underrated.

[@WhatAboutall]

the 2nd addition of Mighty Morphin are all still around: Tommy, Billy, Kimberly & Rocky, Adam & Aisha. That was the team in the original movie.

[@BestowTV]

The hopes are to get interviews from them all in the future (plus other iterations of Power Rangers). Not too bad since we got 4 of the original Rangers plus 3 of the original baddies.

[@Retrorevelations]

I have nothing against the new actors who took over for Red, Black and Yellow. But the original cast never should have left, they never should have been put in a position to FEEL like they had to leave. IMO, that original cast should have been around through at least the entirety of Mighty Morphin, and possibly even Zeo and (as shitty as it was) Turbo. They were great, and iconic. To most fans, they will always be THE Power Rangers.

RIP Machiko Soga "Lady Bandora aka Rita Repulsa

[@phenixdwn]

her voice over on the show actually sounds like the japanese actresses voice. only not speaking japanese

[@jonathanwinston539]

I like Karan Ashley.

Barbara should have had a cameo role in the new movie...her Rita was very good in the 90’s!! She was my favorite villain by far!!

[@raheamhall6227]

[@BestowTV]

[@Iblameyouu]

She did an amazing Rita I've always thought that in power rangers that her voice was really Rita's I didn't know it was dubbed over until about 5 years ago lmao

[@GrotesqueHyydra]

The best Rita !

[@BassBwoy3]

I friggin' loved Karan Ashley and the Zeo Yellow Ranger 'Tanya' when I was a kid.

[@BestowTV]

I'm hoping this weekend to do a follow up. It'll be great to have Karan back on the show.

[@FlixCreEightR]

She is so nice.

[@BestowTV]

Barbara or Karan?

[@RandomBlackGamer]

Bombed you didn't feature 1 of Barbara Goodson's best anime voice acting roles, Fooly Cooly...but awesome interview nonetheless ^_^

[@BestowTV]

[@nimblehealer199]

Bestow TV and Rita is Witch Bandora

[@justinosei-owusu3059]

wow Rita 😍

[@poulpanasonic5045]

Always tought Rita was Asian. . :)

[@BestowTV]

Well because she is. The on camera portrayal was from the actress Machiko Soga, while Barbara Goodson provided an english dub over her. Actually most all of the action scenes in Power Rangers comes from the Japanese series Super Sentai.

[@TINKERB121]

She is. This is the voice actress.

[@jonathanwinston539]

Thanks,man.

[@BestowTV]

Thanks for the support! :D

[@cloudyviolet7058]

[@observeandreport2011]

Barbara Goodson > Elizabeth Banks

[@Angie2343]

Elizabeth Banks is trash compared to Barbara.

[@phuongnguyennguyenhuy7944]

[@BestowTV]

Well, hello there! Rita's not home right now, can I take a message?

[@billyhandika6469]

Why she dubbed it? Machiko couldnt speak english?
