According to her biography on the Disney Legends website, Tyler grew up in
Seattle and that her family had a rich legacy of storytelling and imitation of animal sounds, which proved very useful to her later on in her career as an artist. She first appeared before a radio microphone sometime in the 1940s and became host of her own children's show "Magic Island" in 1951. Later, Tyler began to work more and more offscreen as a voice artist, appearing in several cartoons and narrating vinyl recordings ofDisney classics like "Bambi " and "Babes in Toyland". Tyler gave a memorable performance providing the voice of an amorous squirrel who falls in love with the youngKing Arthur while he is in the form of a male squirrel in "The Sword in the Stone" and becomes heartbroken after discovering that he is really human. She also played Jan in "Space Ghost and Dino Boy " andSue Richards , the Invisible Woman, in the 1978 television series "Fantastic Four".She also performed several voices for the series
Davey and Goliath , including Davey's mother and his sister Sally.Although Tyler has retired and moved back to Seattle, she still occasionally does some recording for local productions.
