http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Maddie_BlausteinThere was a rumor a few days ago, but without a source, no one believed it. Earlier today, however, 4Kids (one of her major employers) confirmed it on their web site.
Dammit. She was such an inspiration, being so talented and with such a range, and a personal example of the impact anime can have on people--she cited playing Meowth with giving her the strength to come out, and to transition from Adam to Maddie.
She was involved in the fandom, and was overall a charmer. I notice on this board she popped up in the "who should Kcon invite?" threads quite a bit.
And who would have guessed that Meowth, Solomon Moto, and Lezard Valeth were played by the same person? (for some reason, Lezard isn't on that site's bio, but she was in fact one of his VAs)
(also, I know 4Kids is horribly unpopular, but this isn't about them, it's about her, so keep the bashing nonexistant)
