April Winchell born April Terri Winchell on January 2, 1962 in New York, New York is a voice actress, radio talk show host, and commentator living in Santa Monica, California. She is the daughter of American ventriloquist Paul Winchell and sister of Stacy Paul Winchell.
As a voice actress, she was a regular character in the television shows Recess, Goof Troop, House of Mouse, Pepper Ann, Legend of Tarzan and 101 Dalmatians: The Series, appeared in various Disney animated movies, and was known for years as the Glendale Federal Bank lady, in which she portrayed a cranky and cynical woman mollified by the service at her new bank. As a radio talk show host, she hosted a weekend program on KFI AM 640. She currently is a regular commentator on the Ask Mr. KABC program.
Ms. Winchell has been critical of her father Paul due to what she calls an abuse of drugs and mental instability. For the most part she has not spoken publicly about her father because she felt that it would tarnish the memories of those who grew up watching him on TV and as the voices of the some of the most beloved cartoon characters from the 1960's through the late 1980's, but her silence ended in March 2004 after her father published his autobiography Winch in which openly he lambasted his wife Nina Russel and other family members.
On August 19, 2005 she announced on her website that she was diagnosed with cancer and is currently undergoing treatment.
