The voice of Minnie Mouse has reported the death of her husband — the voice of Mickey Mouse since 1976.
Wayne Allwine died Monday of complications from diabetes, said his wife, Russi Taylor, a voice-over artist who has put words in Minnie's mouth since 1986. He was 62.
Allwine, an Emmy Award-winning former sound effects editor, was only the third man to give voice to Mickey. Walt Disney was the first, in 1928.
"Wayne was my hero," Taylor told the Los Angeles Times. "He really loved doing Mickey Mouse and was very proud that he did it 32 years."
Allwine was hired by Jimmy Macdonald, who succeeded Disney.
