Jean Vander Pyl (October 11, 1919 – April 10, 1999) was an actress on radio, television and movies. Although her career spanned many decades, she is best remembered as the voice of Wilma Flintstone from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Flintstones. She also provided the voice for Pebbles Flintstone, as well as Rosie the Robot Maid from the animated series The Jetsons, among many others, like Winsome Witch on The Secret Squirrel Show.
She made numerous TV appearances as an actress in programs such as Leave It to Beaver, The Donna Reed Show, Father Knows Best, and Petticoat Junction. One of her final TV appearances was in the opening scene of the Season Two Murder, She Wrote episode, One Good Bid Deserves a Murder. Vander Pyl also had a very brief cameo appearance in the live-action film version of The Flintstones as Mrs. Feldspar, an elderly woman in a conga line.
On April 10, 1999, Vander Pyl died of lung cancer at her home in Dana Point, California. She was survived by her three sons, Michael O'Meara, Timothy O'Meara, and Roger DeWitt.
