Donald Duck
Who is Donald Duck?
Full Name: Donald Fauntleroy Duck
Birthdate: Egg hatched June 9, 1934 (Egg laid Friday, March 13, 1934)
Besides in my opinon, being the greatest cartoon character ever, Donald is the one in the little blue suit that is more often in a rage than not. His personality shows through actions. He gives new meaning to the phrase: "Actions speak louder than words." His lines are few and almost indecipherable, forcing his actions to speak the volumeof his parts.

Walt Disney and Nash worked together to build Donald's voice adding things like laughter. Clarence "Ducky" Nash provided the voice of Donald Duck until 1985, when he died of leukemia.
