“At the age of seven, Verna Felton performed in a local benefit for victims of the 1900 Galveston Flood in Texas. Her singing and dancing attracted the attention of a manager of a road show company that was playing in San Jose at the time. The manager spoke to Felton's mother, offering to give Felton a job with his company. Since the family was experiencing difficult financial times with the loss of Felton's father, her mother contacted the road show manager. Felton quickly joined the cast of the show, growing up in the theater.

She worked extensively in radio, as well as in television and film as a character actress. Her work includes guest appearances on I Love Lucy (1953), as well as a main role on December Bride (1954-1959), for which she received two Emmy nominations. 

Felton lended to voice to many Disney feature films––and 1960 short film Goliath II––as well as voicing Wilma’s mother in The Flintstones (1962-1963) and Tiffany Pomeroy in 1965 film The Man From Button Willow.

Felton was married to radio actor Lee Millar, who also did animation voices, notably for Disney's Pluto. Their son, Lee Carson Millar, Jr., appeared as an actor on a variety of television series between 1952 and 1967.

Felton died of a stroke on December 14, 1966, the day before Walt Disney died.”
