"Aw, Phoey!"

𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨...Clarence Nash made a personal appearance tour celebrating Donald's 50th anniversary that culminated with a visit last year (1985) to the White House, where President and Mrs. Reagan presented him with a plaque commemorating his unique place in family entertainment?

Clarence Charles Nash was born in Watonga Oklahoma, the United States on December 7, 1904. And he died on February 22, 1985, in Glendale, United States. Nicknamed 'Ducky', he was an American voice actor, best known for providing the voice of Walt Disney's Donald Duck.

Clarence Nash grew up on a farm, where he started imitating animal sounds. While working as a publicist at a dairy, he entertained children with these imitations. When he wanted to leave an advertising brochure at the Walt Disney Studios, the receptionist recognized his name from a radio appearance a few days earlier.

Walt Disney was very impressed with this man. Because Disney still needed a voice for a duck in a cartoon (Donald Duck), Nash was allowed to audition and he was hired.

His successor was Tony Anselmo.
