Biography

Nicole Jaffe appeared in three movies--1969's Marlowe, Elvis Presley's The Trouble With Angels, and Disney's The Love Bug. She would gain more recognition as the voice of Velma Dinkley on Hanna-Barbera's Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! She'd voice Velma through 1973 (through "The New Scooby-Doo Movies") before leaving to get married and be a talent agent. Nicole would return in 2003 to voice Velma (who at this point was voiced by Mindy Cohn) in two made-for-video movies, Scooby Doo and the Monster of Mexico and Scooby Doo and the Legend of the Vampire.

Memorable Moments

• In the Scooby Doo episode "A Clue For Scooby Doo", Velma is repulsed by Shaggy's idea of chocolate covered pizzas. She exclaims, "His stomach must be made of scrap iron!" (To which Shaggy retorts, "Can I help it if my first toy was a garbage disposal?")

• Norman Maurer, rights holder of the Three Stooges, wrote the two Three Stooges episodes of The New Scooby-Doo Movies, and he seemed to like getting Velma in a mess. In the first, "Ghastly Ghost Town", a mysterious figure makes her get lost underneath the town. In the second, "The Ghost Of The Red Baron," the title ghost sets Velma airborne in a biplane she doesn't know how to operate.

Trivia

• Like Velma, Nicole was myopic and had to use glasses to read her script. She dropped them in an early recording session and quipped "My glasses! I can't see without them!" From that point on it became Velma's quote whenever she lost her glasses.
