What's my Line - Donald Duck Voice [Clarence Charles Nash]

Clarence C. Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck, is a guest on What's my Line? Episode originally aired on 12 December 1954.
1 of the only 3 times that Mr. Nash appeared in the tv.
Clarence Charles "Ducky" Nash (7 December 1904 -- 20 February 1985) was an American voice actor, best known for providing the voice of Donald Duck for the Walt Disney Studios. He was born in the rural community of Watonga, Oklahoma, and a street in that town is named in his honor.
Nash went through several of his voices, and Walt Disney happened by when Nash gave his impersonation of a family of ducks. Disney declared Nash perfect for the role of a talking duck in their upcoming animated short, The Wise Little Hen. The duck, of course, was Donald Duck, who Nash went on to voice for almost 50 years, in over 120 shorts and films. The last film to feature Nash's famous voice was Mickey's Christmas Carol, released in 1983 although he continued to provide Donald's voice for commercials, promos and other miscellaneous material until his death.
Donald Duck went on to become one of the most famous cartoon characters in the world, and a great part of this was due to Nash's distinctive voice. It may well be one of the most recognizable character voices in history. The voice is distinctive both for its ducklike quality and the fact that it is often very difficult for anybody to understand, especially when Donald flew into a rage (which happened fairly often). To keep Donald's voice consistent throughout the world, Nash voiced Donald's voice in all foreign languages the Disney shorts were translated to (with the aid of the phonetic alphabet), meaning Donald retained his same level of incoherency all across the globe. Mad magazine, in its 1950s comic-strip style satire of Disney characters, featured a "translation" of "Darnold" Duck's "quacky, incomprehensible" voice.

Clarence Nash died in 1985 of leukemia at the age of 80 and was interred in the San Fernando Mission Cemetery in Mission Hills, Los Angeles, California. The tombstone of the grave he now shares with his wife Margaret Nash (who died in 1993) depicts a carving of Donald and Daisy Duck holding hands.

For anyone wondering what he said in his Donald voice, I believe he said: “Well, it’s a great pleasure to meet you all.”

I'm pretty sure "It's just made in California. So many people are." is a sexual innuendo ala the old school term for sex "making it"

[@KnocksX]

This is a wonderful man. I've always loved Donald Duck and hated Mickey Mouse as a kid.

Amazing, I always thought people in show business knew almost everybody including voice actors back then. I guess it was very far fetched. Not to mention how they couldn't recognize him without the voice.

[@mysticdragonwolf89]

The internet hadn't been made yet and news barely went outside one's state unless you had the means to. Hell, could you recognize an actor on sight? I didn't. I shared a coffee table with Allen Rickman.
